Hello from Silver Spring!

[kraiz]

Yo! My name is joey smith! im 21 years old, got my first fish tanka nd cichlids ever just recently. I currently have a 100gal with a pair of juvenile jack dempseys, one tropheus morii, 2 red zebras, 2 acei, a didymo compreceps, and one borelyi. I am very fascinated with the fish and want to come to some meetings. I know very little about keeping fish, but i have been trollign various forums and websites to garner information.

Can't wait to learn mroe and maybe meet some people i can buy fish from since most stores around here SUCKKK! I have lived in silver spring my entire life.

Welcome!
Are all those fish listed in the same tank?!
Got any pictures of your setups?

Some local fish stores around here are vendors here on this site, so be careful what you say!

Have you checked out the following stores?
Tropical Fish World
House of Tropicals
Exotic Aquatics
Super Petz

Yeah they are all juvenile in the same tank. i went crazy and bought wayy too many fish. Will probably end up adopting them out to family members and friends .

I'm doing a water change and filter media change tonight. after every thing settles and the water clears i will post photos here. The fish seem to get along pretty well.

EDIT: i forgot to include my yellow lab cichlid! And i also have a columbian shark in there too.

Here's some photos of my jack dempsey pair in my old 25gal tank before i got my 100gal.

Photos were way too large, don't have time to re size now.

links to them are here: http://www.easylifestudio.com/fish/DSC_0571.jpg , http://www.easylifestudio.com/fish/DSC_0566.jpg , http://www.easylifestudio.com/fish/DSC_0575.jpg
