Hi all,
As the title suggests, I need a little help. I currently have a 135g community display tank, 2-40g breeder planted tanks, 2-20g high, 1-10g and 1-5.5g. I'm really enjoying the tanks, but I'm feeling a little restless. I guess that the best way to describe the tanks is as display tanks in which breeding accidentally occur. Like I said, it's fun and I enjoy the tanks, but I feel like I want more direction. I want to have more purpose. I'm mostly interested in dwarf cichlids, catfish, shrimp and maybe tetras (not all at the same time, obviously).
So, how would you configure the tanks in order to facilitate working with one, maybe two, species at a time? The 135g is going to remain as a display community tank. I think I want it that way for continuity. Other than that, I'm completely open to reconfiguring the rest.
So, what would you do with those options? 40s bare bottom for growout, 20s to keep the fish, 10g and 5.5g for spawning?
Thanks in advance!
Sam
