stocking my 90 gallon...

[mark razmandi]

well after i clean up all my new stuff and repaint the stand i will need to choose what kind of aquascape ill be going with and that will obviously depend on what fish i decide to go with....i want very unique fish but also fish that i enjoy keeping...i want fish i can house for a lifetime in my 90 gallon so nothing that will out grow my tank....i wouldnt mind some type of eel and i LOVE oscars...cichlids are my main choices but im open to any and everything...let the suggestions fly! please and thank you!

[mark razmandi]

are there any types of eels that i can get in houston that will not out grow my 90 gallon? thanks!!! and are they hard to take care of?

[stevenallenbarnard]

peacock, zig-zag and tiretrack should all be okay on you 90

Are you looking to get a bunch of fish, or just a few larger ones?

[JStrider]

Dojo loaches are neat looking fish that could live in a 90 without trouble.

i want a few larger ones and maybe some schooling fish if they are compatible with the fish i want

[mark razmandi]

i REALLY want a fire eel but i think they get too big for my tank

i got a breeding pair of firemouths that would be perfect for a 90g

you know what? i really like these fish...how big do they get and what are the best tank mates for them? and can i keep an eel with them? and whats your price

[Rico]

not sure but i dont think they get bigger than 6". if you give the eel enough hidding spot it should make it. firemouths are all bark and no bite. looking for $15 but will also trade for equipment like powerheads, filters, lights, 75g or 55g tops.

the only filters i got are 2 almost brand new penguin 100s....i still have to set up my tank and cycle the water as well

[Rico]

those are too small. if you want them let me know i live by fishranch 2

i think i do actually....i think i want a central american tank with an eel as well....i want a mix of fish of maybe convicts, slavinis, firemouths, JDs, T-bar....any suggestions of which of these would work best and how many of each? i dunno if a JD would do too well in only a 90 gallon with others
