[YahooFishKeeper]

[nubs'r'us]

[YahooFishKeeper]

[nubs'r'us]

LOL, when he said at least 2 feet, I think he was referring to depth, lol. 60" is 5ft, lol.

With that tank, you can do quite a lot, lol.. Exactly what fish did you have in mind?

Wow, that is an awesome tank to be given! I was just given two 29g tanks, but I only set one up since I'm in college and move once a year!

OMG!!!! I feel so retarded....those are the wrong dimensions, the real dimensions are 48''L 20''H 13''W....Srry for the mix up, tht pretty much explains my name, nubs'r'us.

That's the common 55G.

You can do quite a bit with it as well. What fish are you interested in?

Also, if you can give us a particular fish that you want as your main fish, then we can help you in selecting fish that will go well with it. That's probably the easiest way to go about asking help with fish selection. Give us an idea as to what you want, and we can build around that idea.

uhm.....I really dont know at the moment.....any suggestions?

 

[Katie217]

there are many different things you could do...community tank, or cichlids...first of all, do you know anything about cycling tanks? have you read the stickies yet? i strongly suggest researching as much as you can about cycling your tank first. then researching the fish that people will suggest here too. research is the key to a successful fish tank that you will enjoy.
BTW, congrats on getting the tank, 55gals are a good size tank, you can do alot with them welcome to the forums too
