Do a 12-gallon,there cheap,you could keep 2 clownfish an and anemone easily,and you could actually have fish lol
I'm only 11 and I love mine can't wait for the 125 i'm getting in July

I'd wait for a few more opinions before making a decision, but a lot of people on here will say if you want fish you should have a 20g tank minimum. My clowns swim the entire lenght of my 55 g so that's 4 feet that they traverse back and forth.

seattle good for you 125 gal. wow is this in your room? do you do this hobby with no help. water changes testing water everything. i am 33 and i need all the help i can get
she has a freshwater now and not have any luck with the fish. go figure i can keep my 75 gal saltwater just fine but have no luck with a 5 gal freshwater
lol. i may just invest a little more and let her have the saltwater. at least we can keep those alive
thank you

Same problem,my fresh water is a dump and my freinds even spilled pepsi in it :hilarious And my kissing Gourmais and Catfish were still healthy! :hilarious...
I have my dad help me sometimes and I always have acess to this place called Sharkreef for help.
I have my ways of fitting the tank in my room :joy:
EDIT:Thats weird,the first part got spaced
