Not to hijack, but how big do Emperors usually grow to be?

4cm about.

Thank you all, this has been extremely helpful. I'm so glad to have somewhere to go to have a more experienced opinion.
I believe all keep the 45 gallon an all- or mostly-barb tank, maybe adding some loaches once I find one I can't live without. With the 90, I think I'll just stick with a main plan of hatchets, neons, and corys. I'll have to see how it goes from there.
Although, I'm probably just counting my chickens before they hatch. I haven't even got a 90 gallon tank yet!

So, I settled for an 80 gallon.. I believe it was a cichlid tank at one point (there are rocks in the back), but it will do fine. It's complete with some lifegard module filters and a UV light. All it needs is a new pump - and probably some new lights - and it'll be ready for meddling with.

I decided to switch my stocking around from what I originally had planned. I'm researching as hard as I can on compatibilities; I decided I don't want to take risks. It's a bit oddly shaped (as tall as it is wide) and may be extremely hard to get nippy fish out. Not to mention that it's just a bad idea in the first place to keep wrong combinations of fish...
Nonetheless, I am extremely excited! I can't wait to stock it.
