Bigger tank , new fish2007-11-24 23:10:17

Once you get past 50 gallons, you're talking walls, and not just fish tanks, haha. I'm going to assume that you're in a hours and not an apartment, but either case, make sure you check the weight and keep this sucker on an exterior wall, or one located near a main support to better support the weight. (My mother's 65 gallon tank caused her floor to sag - (almost 1000 pounds for the tank, stand and all the equipment that went with it).

Beyond that, I'd look at going bigger so you don't have to up sizes again later. Get the dimensions for what you think would be big enough for you to work with and expand on but not so big as to be overwhelming and hard to keep up with. If the upkeep isn't as enjoyable to you as watching those gorgeous catfish (I love the Decorus), it's not worth it.

Good luck!

Check your local pet store that deals with aquariums to see what tanks they have in stock or could possibly order for you. As for the fish, check the link below to find freshwater and saltwater species that you seek for your specific tank size once you get it.

I think your best bet at this point is to go to the place you got these fish. If you ordered online, and there are not sellers in your immediate area, then your only recourse of action is to order online. I hesitate to say order tanks of that size online though. Shipping costs will be higher due to weight and handling. You're better off buying locally even if you have to drive a little bit. Lower prices becuase no shipping, and you handle the tank yourself and not rely on someone else.
