  • Stocking a local school tank....

    So im setting up a 75 gallon at the elementary school i attended when i was younger (post elementary). The budget is thin but i really want to make this happen for the kids to enjoy and maybe make some future hobbyists! I am looking for people to donate some fish so i can stock the tank. i am mainly looking for some hardy SA/CA cichlids. i will be maintaining the tank so the fish will be cared for properly. Let me know what you guys have, this is for a good cause. THANKS

        i ran the tank 4 or 5 years ago and i kept cichlids very successfully in there and even bred in the school tank. guppies and tetras are of no interest.

                  I have a pair of Pink Convicts that will fill the tank for you.

                  But consider an assortmant of Gourami - blue, gold, platinum, pearl, opaline, etc. low maintaince, large size & long life.
                  'Dear Lord,' the minister began, with arms extended toward heaven and a rapturous look on his upturned face. 'Without you, we are but dust ...'
                  He would have continued but at that moment my very obedient daughter who was listening leaned over to me and asked quite audibly in her shrill little four-year old girl voice, 'Mom, what is butt dust?'

                        pbass will eat the gouramis. convicts might also kill the gouramis, then the pbass will try to eat the convicts but choke on the fins.
