I've been thinking about getting live plants after seeing NextStepAquatics's awesome aquarium.

COBettaCouple

yea, that was impressively done without a doubt.

Stradius011

What a bummer. I was told it was a 75 gallon but when I measured it, turns out to be a 45 gallon aquarium.

armadillo

Oh no. And you had your stock all planned out. Shame.

armadillo

My tank was actually sold to me as a 60L (15G?) and it's actually only 51L. Gutted.

Stradius011

Welll...I was only going to put as many fancy guppies as the tank will allow so it will still work.

sgould

Still a great price though! I am sure it will look great when you are done.

armadillo

Oh well that's really good then. No major disappointment.

hey, how do you guys get offered all these free/cheap tanks?! no-ones ever offered one to me!!!
i have a 45 gal, still plenty of space for your guppies and their offspring!!! good luck...btw, goldfish would destroy your plants, at least guppies wont so you can still do down that route!
good luck

I'll post some picts of my guppies as soon as I move them to the 45 gallon.

I might be getting a free 50 or hundred gallon tank soon.
My brother's day program has a little ten gallon tank that I've started taking care of. It's got three black skirt tetras and a five inch pleco. The guy at the pet store told the woman who bought the tank that fish can't outgrow a tank, they'll just stop growing. Well, the pleco has apparently slowed down growing, and I found out why last friday. I ran a water quality test and the nitrates were maxed out. So I talked to them, said that we could find something else to take care of the algae and then try to find someone who would take the pleco. One of the employees at the place asked if I would take it if she could get me a tank large enough to keep it in. I said "yes," of course.

wow! how cool is that!! failing that...i'll have it!

sirdarksol

I'm not sure it's worth the shipping from MN to England would be worth it. (I hope I'm seeing your flag right. Never been good at flags.)

tan.b
