I like the cichlids. If you are not a newbie, I would go for discus. I
just like them. Not everyone shares the same view :-)

Can we get more info? Is your water hard or soft, acidic or alkaline?

Will it be at eye level close to a seated position (smaller fish?), or
eye level to a walking height (medium to larger fish?).

Will there be live plants in there?

What is your favourite colour ? ;~)

What is the most compelling thing about your current aquariums?

I suggest you figure out your interests in aquaria. This is not even a
remotely viable question.

this one (the 75 gal) is the one we got towards the end of last summer.
it's been stocked with a few feeder guppies and neons, and a couple of barbs
for about the past 4-5 months. it's been running untouched and the algae is
now starting to take off so i'll be picking up a pair of dwarf pl*co's here
in the next couple of weeks. it's kept a fairly high gh/kh, due to the
water and rock. ph i'm not so sure about (i lost the color key cards in the
move last winter). i've added some driftwood this past week so i'll see
where that leaves me in about a month or so. filtration is overkill and
water movement is moderate. i removed the charcoal about six weeks ago.



Will it be at eye level close to a seated position (smaller fish?), or eye
level to a walking height (medium to larger fish?).


in the main room, against the center wall. maple stand and hood, best
viewed at a sitting level (which is how we have arranged the room around
it).


Will there be live plants in there?


probably not, given how my thumb is not so green. i'm getting better with
the plants in the other tanks however, so there is always the hope. ;-)


What is your favourite colour ? ;~)


scotch.


What is the most compelling thing about your current aquariums?


asthetic variety, and low fish loads. we still have the other tanks, (5
(QT), 10, 15 tall, 20, & 25 gal (US)).

the wife is leaning towards silver dollars over the angels now. before we
moved last winter we had a pair of angels and a couple of otos in one of our
smaller tanks. i hadnt thought about the acistrus before 'though.

and what else?

we've got guppies that we use as feeders. we already have a few of those in
the tank now (along with a pair of tiger barbs).
