i have a tank with loads of fish in, a community tank, but i also have some ghost shrimp that live in there, they hid in undergrowth tho and avoid being munched, lots of plants is good

Yeah i heard that the frogs need to be able to get out of the water in some way (not out of tank)

When i spoke to a guy in my fish shop he said they didn't "have to" but seemed a bit strange to me.

Might get a really small little crab then ? seems safest bet if any.

I had two crabs in an old community tank and didnt put a rock in - they both died of stress I think!

things like that usually die or only last a month, best getting some fish that you know a lot about

i have a 20 gallon and a 25 gallon i think

meant to be getting another tank thats about 5ft long

not sure if its gonna have fish or lizards yet tho

both mine are quite understocked, don't have to clean them as much then

i got a little 2 gallon tank too, but it doesn't get used, couldn't get any pumps/heaters to fit, think its for goldfish

Greg- yeah they were fine with other fish, didnt really bother with each other at all.

At the moment I've 3 tanks, two 5ft(150Gallon) and one 7ft(260Gallon). But down sizing to one 6ft and one 5ft next week.

we were going to get 2 geko's, but Richies mum wouldnt let us because she thought they would escape and terrorise her

2 gal is tiny, u can get tiny heaters and filters, you could always use a heat mat to heat it and then just do regualr water changes instead of having a filter

I would love to have a 4/5/6ft tank when we finally get our own house, but atm there are times when we can even be bothered to clean our 30gal, let alone a 100/120 gal tank!

Will depend on the type of fish he has in there thou, long finned fish wouldn't be very good with crabs, but as long as the fish are intelligent enough to know not to get too close to the crabs then it should be ok.

I wouldn't take the risk

OK, first two pics..

I cant find a full tank shot in the light and this tank is at my apartment so cant get a new shot. Its a Rio 400 though in beech with a matching stand, just like this one

Cost me £550 new about 6 months ago. Comes with everything, stand, lid, lights, built in filter, etc. After about £400.

This is what Ive got in it at the moment. A 9" Serrasalmus Manuelli (Piranha) the largest of its kind in the UK!
