I thought about collapsing my other tanks into this tank. I have also thought about breeding my cherry barbs in there. ROFL I think that would be hilarious. I know they would look great in it!
If I bought the goldfish I would get them from the LFS and then just give them back for store credit. I would tell my friend what I was doing up front so she would know that they would eventually be coming back. She has some nice fancies right now, but I have to check them for disease signs etc. Sometimes the fish that come in there are not so good.
They also have 2 huge tinfoil barbs that I thought about homing for a while. They would be impressive
Its a big tank, I have options LOL.
When I know for sure where I will be I definitely want the Cichlids. It is just a question of when it becomes what it is meant to be! The idea of transporting all those rocks around makes me laugh as well. I decorated that tank for less than 25 bucks
(The silk plants and suction cups, and the shells). I wish the equipment was that cheap! But overall I'd have to say its not bad for a 100 dollar tank and stand
