Four aggressive carnivores, albino catfish and a craw.

Live plants too. They are young though.

-=AlexXx=-, Those cherry shrimp are really cool. I want something like that but am afraid my fish would kill them all. That's a pretty sick set you have there.

DMoneyy, Post it when it's up.

I've got a 20 gallon freshwater setup. Contains:

2 African Ciclids
1 Koi Goldfish
1 "Shark" its more of a catfish
1 Parrot
1 Pleco
3 Catfish bottom feeders

I'm setting up a 70 gallon saltwater tank later this summer, stoked for that

Had that blue damsel for exactly a year this week, I'll post up pics of my 29gal vertical once I give a good clean and restock it with some new fishies from the Gulf.

kornhouse, Hell yea thats the way to go with saltwater....catch em. I wanna get a little grouper and snook for my saltwater.

salt is just so much maintenance... so mad expensive... all i do is a 20% water change once a week, im suprised i dont have any algea ever either...

-=AlexXx=-, I change 1/3 of my water out every other week and I've always just used the water in my canal. I got the tank for free from my brother (look on Craigslist and you can nab some nice ones for cheap or free) After buying an aerator, bubble wall stone, filter, heater, and a few pounds of base rock along with various other small things I've put about $80 into my tank over the past year. It's more than freshwater, especially if you pay for fish, but it is what you make it and it is definitely worth owning one.

Seahorses are definitely one of the coolest things I've caught and kept, watching them eat brine shrimp is pretty cool.

kornhouse, Well i guess if you dont have a bunch of Live rock and stuff all those crazy looking expensive underwater organisms its cheaper. That would be cool to grab water from my canal and do water changes with that. More power to ya man! Maybe if i ever have some more room ill set up a salt tank to give it a try, but not any were in the near future though. Living in a 1 bedroom wtih your a g/f doesnt allow much extra space... especially closet space haha.
