    I have a tank sitting outside (well 4 of them actually) and this one keep calling my name. I'm thinking it's a ten gallon, but I'm not 100% sure.
    At any rate, I've been thinking of where to set it up, and I think I have just the place.
    Under my tv/video games I have a place I can put it in. (I recently got this tv from a friend... doesn't work with cable, but works out perfectly for my ps2)
    Right now I have some junk in the way, but I'm thinking.... I toss it out and clean out the tank, buy some sand, a new driftwood, and take some of my recent plant shoots, I can have the tank up and running in just a few days, and be ready for fish by next month. I'll need a new Filter, but thats no big deal. Now, the question is... What do I want to put in it?

    The first thing that came to mind: Hybrid zone tank. Make a tank so I hybrid/cross some of the fish I already have, or the ones I will be getting soon. I do Like this idea, but I just don't feel like it.
    Next idea was to have the tank waiting for some of Anthony's center peacocks endler's. I do really like this idea, but with out any idea as to when he'll be able to sell more, I might just find room for another tank else were.
    Lastly, I found some fish from AdrianHD. "Brazilian Guppies"
    What option do you guys like the most?

    If you want to set it up now go with the guppys . You can allways change later . You could set up 2 tanks you said you have 3 outside .

    I like the wild guppies but I also have a great relationship with Endler's so it's hard for me to choose between them. I think the Endler's have more color then those guys and stand out a bit more so for that reason only I chose the Endler's.

    Angel fish aren't on the menu tho =3
    So far the Brazillian Guppies are winning. And I actually want to go for them too.
    But, the ones fish who win the vote are the ones I'm gunna buy.

    I like the center photo the pink ones with black in the fins. IMO with the right lighting they could show in a tank very nicely.

    Well Anthony if you were not out of stock he would have had Peacock Endlers in the tank and this thread would have never exsisted. LOL

    Yep, assuming you don't have anything in the tank that will eat the fry.

    lol
    Nah, I would just have bought both in the end and had two tanks =P

    And besides, I would have never posted, and we never would have had this great topic to cover =3

    So, you guys've seen my other tanks, Drift Wood in the Center, with Java Moss and some other plants in the mix. Should I do this tank differently? After all, I LOVE my Endler Tank's, but in the end, why set up each tank the same? =3

    Suggestions?

    I always have my tanks different. I get bored easily looking at the same thing. I'm moving fish around to different tank and will have a 20 left empty and thinking of doing a local native tank. Something different.

    Tons of commen brown and grey crayfish(1/2" to 3") and huge tadpoles (3-4"). Only seen 1 pair of fish. The male was about .75" silver blue with an appendage that flowed longer tah his tail. the female was silver about 1" slender with a huge gravid spot. Camera did not work (batteries went dead) so no pics. Hopefully I will see more of these fish. Of couse every time I used the net I got a net full of snails.

    NO LOL, I'm talking about the lower fin. It's like a small minnow very narrow. Definitly not a molly.
