Bigger and I think optimal size 40gal:


Obviously pictures won't help with dimensions but gives you an idea.

Any larger pet stores will carry them.

Thinking about turning an old tv into a fish tank.
Something like this:

For what it's worth,

I don't support petco at all, especially their aquatic section, but they're having their annual $1 per gallon sale in most stores. 55 gallon = $55, etc. It's a good time to get a tank for about 50% off.

Hmm. :thinking:

I have a pair of picasso percs myself.

I've had both white stripe and gold stripe maroons. They get big, and pissy really fast. My female gold stripe took a huge chunk out of my hand once. I'll never forget that open wound in salt water pain...

The gold striped maroons are cool looking. That's right, they do get big and feisty, so if I plan to do a nano then maybe I should change my mind on that. :/

UPDATE: Sushi is still alive and kickin. I leave the filter off so I think I'm just going to take it off. Weekly 50% water changes seem to do the job. He's eating pellets and I feed them to him one at a time.. maybe 6 or seven pellets like 2x's a day. He swims to the front of the tank and just stares at me when I walk by. I think he just wants food all the time.
