We had a 40 gallon tank but DH got this 55 gallon tank from a co worker really cheap (tank and stand $50). He brought it in the house and set it down by the dining room window to get it out of the way. We both really liked the way it looked sitting there and ended up rearranging the dining room. We are waiting for a smaller computer desk to get here today to finish the rearranging but the tank is set up.
DH has had fish for way back before I knew him and he is really the "fish guy" here, not me. He used some of the rocks from the old tank and a few other things. IDK maybe some of the water?? Anyway, he said that way he kept the good bacteria and was able to move the fish with in a day. Works for me because with day care kids in the house during the week, I wasn't sure how it was all going to work if he had to let the new tank sit for a while before the fish could go in it.
Anyway, the fish are in the tank but don't show too well in the picture. I'll have to try to get some good pictures of the fish and add them to the thread. I know there is a Corey Catfish, a Chinese Algee eater, a red tailed shark, and some convicts. Some others too but I don't know what they all are.
Here is the tank set up:
