Fish Rack Price Game (Hopefully fun)

[nabokovfan87]

I've seen some of these types of things where you're given a budget and have to pick stuff in a graphic.  Let's make one for a fish rack!

You magically wake up and the fish wizard gives you a riddle to solve.  The fish wizard explains that you can have and keep the shiny new rack of tanks, but you have to decide what you want right now!  You are given a series of choices.  The fish wizard explains, you cannot spend over 650 magic points because their powers are almost used up for the day.  "Choose wisely," the fish wizard advises.

You turn to the wall in your room and you see a shiny new rack for tanks sitting there.  The options are endless, but you ponder what would make sense for you.  The rack has two shelves awaiting your choices.

Do the inhabitants have to coexist peacefully? 
A shoal of Red Tail sharks would be as cool as heck!

I definitely wouldn't try a group in a 20L 😂

I get the feeling the fish wizard can decide whatever they want will or won't work.

I had 3-4 SAEs and a RTBS in my 75.  They did fine. They figured it out.  Just have a lot of caves.

I guess I get to grow out the fish a little while, I don't have any amanos, and the top tank is empty minus plants. LOL.
