Re: What should I do with my 30 gallon?
I kept mine out in the back yard in a Koi pond that he promptly turned in to his own pond, no more Koi (I didn't think that one through all the way!). I kept him out there through the winter and he went through hibernation cycles and everything. I looked for a female for him but always had trouble catching one that was mature enough to breed (I like having 10 fingers). I wish I had the space in the back yard to have one again.

Re: What should I do with my 30 gallon?
Knowing you, I would go for a heavier planted tank with one male irrubesco or with a sand bottom tank with a nice lurker like a congo or a nice Fangs...(provided your mom lets you keep the food for them).Lil' Swimz$ wrote:Okay, moderator! Back on topic

I had a baby snapper once. 
"I will give you a talisman. Whenever you are in doubt, or when the self becomes too much with you, apply the following test. Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man whom you may have seen, and ask yourself, if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him or her. Will she gain anything by it? Will it restore her to a control over her own life and destiny? In other words, will it lead to freedom for the hungry and spiritually starving millions? Then you will find your doubts and your self melt away."

Re: What should I do with my 30 gallon?
ITS A MIRACLE!!! Someone suggests something different then DP's, and its a moderator! YIPEEEEEEEEEE!!! Sorry, got carried away. *clears throught* Um, yes. I'd love a single irrubesco, and I'm in the process of planting it. A congo would also be cool, especially a beautiful red or olive green one. Now I have to rethink this...

Re: What should I do with my 30 gallon?
What do you mean provided your mom lets you keep the food for them? I already have bloodworms.
Okay, here's the plan.
5 gallon~ Planted, with cherry shrimp, (I could breed them and feed extras to them) MTS's, a couple white clouds, and a very good light.
10 gallon~ Bullet and Bug
30 gallon~ Congo or irrubesco, now I can't decide. A congo would be very interesting, and plus I'd get sand, but an irrubesco would probably be easier. But I think I'm up to either of them.

Oooh, a Fangs sounds nice too. Very sociable and active, that's good. I get annoyed by glace pacing. They're pretty too.

Re: What should I do with my 30 gallon?
Nothing! I forgot about him. 
Shame, shame on me!! Hmmm, where would he go... I do have another 10 gallon down in the basement, maybe I could get my parents to let me set that up.
