Finally fulfilling a small dream to own a decent sized fish tank. Just set up my 45 gallon freshwater tank, that will become a saltwater tank once i move and have a house.
For now... i'm going to learn the ropes on a freshwater.
i intend on keeping crayfish in this so you'll notice some ground shelter for them.
I'll more than likely be keeping african cichlids and other larger fish in the tank with them. i'm expecting losses on both sides... i've read the fish figure out when the crayfish shed their shell and go after them, as well as the crayfish tend to hunt the fish at night.
I'm hoping introducing a feeder fish or shrimp will keep that down...
this is my first tank and i'm pretty excited to get some fish in it this weekend.
