Hi gang...

Figured I'd share something that I found totally HALARIOUS. At least on my part...:rolleyes:

You all know I turned from plants and went to the darkside!LOL... Cichlids....

I ripped all but the java ferns out, seeing how they are pretty hardy with cichlids... But any rate I was battling some serious BBA and due to my shcedule, I couldn't keep up with the battle.. So I turned to a cichlid tank.....

Heres the funny thing.... My Java ferns had some bba on thier roots about a 1/4 of inch worth, not much... Today I see the cichlids totally cleaning they bba off the plants..... ARGGG, why didn't I just throw them in, in the first place... LOL:D HA HA....

Isn't that a hoot... But I know they would have eventually ripped the fragile plants apart....Seeing how vegitation is a part of some of thier diet....

FIgured I'd share my funny find with all of you....

Nice chating...

Hey Spank.....I was just thinking about you yesterday while doing my water changes and scooping gobs of Salvina/Water Lettuce off the surface of my tanks. It was a good way to pass the time while 30 inches of snow piled up outside. Glad to hear that you haven't given up altogether, cause I know you'll come to your senses and come back to the plants eventually.
Why don't you take a few pictures so we can see what the tank looks like now and what kind of ciclids you've obtained?

Hey guys-


I actually snapped a few off yesterday. I just have to take a look at them.. I still am not happy with the tank set up.. It needs more fish...

At the moment I only have about 10 but they are expensive!!! So next week I will add another 10...

I have some peacocks, yellow labs and some colbolt blue's... They seem to get along great..

I used to get company over and get alot of compliments on the plants.. Now I really get them when they see the colors on some of these fish!!!

I'll post them in a while.... I am still shovling out my darn cars... ARGggggg.... I hate SNOW:mad: :mad:

I don't know whether it's me or what, but I can hardly see the tank. On my monitor it came out small and dark
