new 29g

Well heres the tank i was wanting forever and finally got it. My wife loved it too, so much she made it her own Oh well, good new is i get to look for another one and build a rack to put it on. Compromise is the best way i guess, lol. This one ended up in the living room.

well........its kinda bright (gravel) lol ; )

your tellin me, i have to wear my shades to walk in the livin room

I'm thinkin of puttin blue food coloring in there and telling her the rocks are bleeding into the water. Then i can change it to sand, lol. better now before the fish go in

LOL hey if she believes it, go for it!

At least the gravels not hot pink with a neon castle. Now let her learn how to clean it, do the water changes, feed, stock, etc...., because it's part of her furniture now and nothing you do to it well be right.

I let her and the kids do this one since its in the living room. Next i'm building a rack for my bedroom so i can put another 29 under the 10. That one i get to do on my own and it will be more natural.

Make a spectacular natural display and soon the living room tank will be changed.

Thats my plan

Nice tank, put some ick cure so it will make the water blue for a day lol, so you can change it for sand...

I think if she wants a tank let her have that one, a shared love of the hobby is a beautiful thing!!!!!!!

Very nice!!!!

Thanks BFin!

Have you decided on what you going to put in it yet?

I want cichlids, but i get different info from different sites s i don't know. I thought saulosi would work, but i think i'd need at least a 55?

Mbuna really need a larger tank than a 29. I have a trio of victorians in my 29. They are a bit more docile. Saulosi (in MY experience) have been pretty aggressive... I have mine in a 60 Gallon and they are still pretty aggressive to each other. Your tank looks good though!!! Collecting tanks gets addictive...lol

Thanks for the input, i'm just gonna have to keep looking. I just want something other than platys, mollies, guppies, swordtalis. I'm looking for something colorful and fun to watch. Any suggestions on fish to read up on would be greatly appreciated.

what I would do seeing that the wife and kids are involved Pick out a small group of fish say 8 to 10. Something you like and know would go together. Let the wife and kids pick 2 or 3 species and stock with those. Believe me it will save a lot of headaches and arguments about no you can't put guppies with oscars.

Very nice setup! Loving the mosaic vases next to it too!

Thanks Bernie, my wife was a Home Interior freak, lol we have chingos of candle holders.

if she ever wants to get rid of some send them my way.

I've actually seen someone use those mosaic vases in there tanks without a problem. She bought them from Walmart of all places.

Added some plants and pots, i think it looks a little better now, lol
