I think it is better to buy them piece by piece and set it up best for your fish. With my goldfish standard filters that would be fine for most fish are too small for them so I had to buy filters by them selfs.
Plus like spike said, you can get smaller tanks at yard sales for cheap or go to a mom and pop pet store and they will have good deals on tanks and setups. Better than what major chain stores can offer. Unless you go to Petco for their dollar per gallon sale. But that is just my opinion.

My black molly had more babies(about 30) DX It's not that I don't like them, I just don't have room for them in my tank any more. Especially since she already had at least two other sets

might sound mean but maybe you could feed them to bigger fish (if you have any bigger fish)

When I was younger I had quite the freshwater setup, 55 gallon tank, Lots of Mollies, Guppies, Gouramis, a huge bottom-feeder (can't remember them name, something with a p, I think), and a massive goldfish.
I have all the stuff to start up another tank, and kinda want one, but think that the puppy, horse and frogs are enough at the moment.

You probably shouldn't get a piranha. They're quite difficult to care for. Do you have any experience with fish? Do you knwo if they're legal? A pacu might be a better idea.

My mother has passed away, and I won't be as active for awhile. Sorry to everybody who needs me, just send me a PM.

I think they're legal and yes I have had experience with fish phirannas will be a challenge but with the answers to the questions I have I can do it. Whats a pacu?
