Hey all...awesome forum! My wife and I are pretty new to the Cichlid/fish world, and in the short year and a half have accumulated quite the set-up with 7 tanks currently, with 12 at one point!..lol. We will try to be as active as possible on here as we tend to search more then actually post, but hoping to gain as much knowledge as possible, and hopefully attend a convention in WI someday! here is a list of most of the fish with tank sizes listed
20g tall...13 Mbuna fry possibly Kenyi, or ps interuptus and yellow lab mix? Our first fry we will attempt to raise:unsure:
35hex Community Tetra/platy/and one Calico Angelfish
65 Gourami/Clown Loaches/ single Jewel
65 Jack Dempsey pair
75 Single Firemouth/7 Acei/7Yellow lab/pair Kenyi/ single spotted Raphael
75 Mbuna..1 fuelliborni/1 bumblebee/ 1 Socolofi/1 Yellow lab/1 Saulosi?/ 1ps interuptus?/8 Kenyi/7 tiger barbs/1 chinese algae eater I may be missing a couple as I have not thought to take pics when they are all out..lol. This tank is mostly calm with Fuelliborni (sp?) being the tank boss.
125g Frontosa 9..not sure what species yet..I will upload pics soon I hope to get clarification as I think a few are Moba, and the rest are Burundi?..largest is 10+" smallest is 4".
I realize that my personal tank..the 75 mbuna is very scary to most purists, and all I can say is that was my newb mistake from listening to store employees.:blush: I will say that when I added 7 of the Kenyi to my tank, and then the Fuelliborni, that everything changed overnight!..before I had issues with the single male kenyi, and ps int., but after adding the group of Kenyi, the tank went calmer in a big way. Auratus pair have mated, and bumble bee is always front and center when I walk up to the tank.
anyways, thanks all!!
