Recommendations Wanted

I have a 6x2x2 fish tank and was after some recommendations as to what I should put in it. It is located inside and is to be a display. I was thinking along the lines of Accies or Gillens and would appreciate any pros and cons of the two, or if there is something else that you think would go well.

RE: Recommendations Wanted

One would imagine Buck implies reptiles!!!, not fish... :roll: either or , the species your mentioned,with a good heat lamp and basking rock....Hugsters ackies look like beauties Some Knobtail Geckos would be great....complete with red sand, some nice yellow grass clumps...with the odd small rock, would look great....

How about some Water Dragons, I have 4 in a tank with a swimming pool and tree branches that hang over the edge. Most nights they are more entertaining than the TV.

RE: Recommendations Wanted

6 foot is probably wasted on small monitors like acanthurus but the more space the better I suppose. If I was to have Ackies in there I would make it a good sizeable group, maybe 6 or 7 animals, plenty of hiding spaces for them, set it up as natural as possible and make a show piece out it.
