|
I have a 55 gal tank in my living room and i want to get a 2nd |
|
tank to put in my son's room. He is just lover a year old and |
|
love watching my cichlids. My wife want to just get a bowl with |
|
a goldfish. I really don't want to do that obvious reasons. I'm |
|
thinking more like a 10 to 20 gal tank. I want put a few fish in |
|
it for my son to watch. What would be a good size tank and what |
|
kind of fish will work in it? |
|
Thanks |

No bowls, a ten gallon with a small internal filter would be |
|
better |

I think I have decided to get a 20 gal. What fish will be good |
|
for that size and what should my budget be. |

It's been a long time since my kids were that small. Back then, |
|
I had a 100 gallon tank that divided the room between dining and |
|
living rooms. |
|
We did the same thing, saw our son's enjoyment of the 'big' tank |
|
and put a small tank in his room. |
|
Sure, he saw it when he was awake, or crying for someone to come |
|
pick him up. Just never got the awe from him that the big tank |
|
did. |
|
My advice, save the money for something later. At a year old, |
|
all he wants to do is absorb your attention and reactions to his |
|
emotions. I'd simply spend more time in front of the tank with |
|
him. |
|
Best of luck in your decision. |
