You'll go bigger, trust me. Also, big tanks are easier to keep good water parameters! It just makes sense to go to 150 next and get a couple beast cichlids :)

When I had my 200+g I would watch that damn thing more than TV.

Man you got me figured out lol. I hate so bad that I gotta use the 40g for the axolotl and gotta make the 20g my fish tank. I’m getting a pair of apistogramma and 10 cardinal tetras with some Pygmy cories.

It’s a matter of time before this 20g becomes a live bearer and shrimp breeding tank and I get another 40g with 30 fish in it

Big fish are so much fun. They have personalities. My Flowerhorn would run through my hand, turnaround, and repeat dozens of times. Its like he just loved being pet lol. It was crazy.

I also had a Jaguar who was a stone-cold KILLER. That thing would attack the glass when I walked by and he was REALLY fun to feed.

I’d love to get a school of Oscars one day, but I also want a nice planted tank and I hear they crush every plant in sight.

I think when I’m able to say fk it and get whatever tank I want I’m gonna get a school of rainbow sharks and make a community tank out of it. They’re probably the one that’s caught my eye the most since I got into this

I love big tanks with tons of small fish. For a while I had a 55 with a giant school of purple emperor tetras and like 30 peppered cories that I had bred. I love shrimp too, I finally managed to keep a colony going for more than a year now.

I've kept Oscars as well. They are very cool fish although really suseptible to hole in the head disease (Ithink its called). One of mine got it bad. Not fun.

Community tanks are great and, of course, more visually interesting than 1-2 monsters. I just loved having a damn fish either be excited to see me come through the front door (flowerhorn) or want to murder me every time I got close to the tank (Jaguar)

My dad is growing out some koi before they go into our pond, and it's pretty fun having them swarm to the front when it's feeding time.

Purple emperors are cool, I fkn love Congo tetras and want a school of those, they’re too big for my 20g though

My wife is in love with this spotted moray at house of tropicals and if there’s a way to get her on board for a big ass tank, that’s the way lol

I’m entertaining a rice fish patio pond to grow herbs and shit this summer.

I really want Congo tetras too, but yeah they're big and expensive. There are so many tetras I want to try keeping, but I just don't have the space to keep the numbers I would want.
 
JoeyFlex5 said:
They’re brackish, but same lol. I’m way too new to this shit to take on a whole new learning curve. I’m still tryna figure out plants
Click to expand...
It's been 12 years and I still can't figure out plants. But I'm probably also not putting enough work in to get them going
 
JoeyFlex5 said:
From everything I’ve learned, once you get a planted tank established it’s less work in the long run. Plus I just love the look of it.

I love the look too. I think part of my problem is never starting with enough plants to keep the algae in check
