complements on your nice fish. wish i had that much tank room to play with!
 
You keep reminding me that even with 12 tanks, I havent even scratched the surface of what's out there!!!!!!! Seriously.....cool pics......I've noticed we keep many of the same fish.:rolleyes:

Does your "museum" charge an admission?

im starting to get away from the big solitary kind of stuff. im really liking the whole archocentrus and vieja group alot right now. i have a 75gall tank with at least a dozen fish of diffent species all about 1" that im growing out. amongst them are an Escondido, steindachneri, a few maculicauda, and some stuff in the nandopsis and Parapetenia families :) im going to a breeder next week so i may get my hands on a newer variety of the convict type fish, thats supposed to be more colorful and alot more tankmate friendly. and who knows what else i wont resist :D good stuffs a commin'


oh and no admission is charged but donations of the swimming variety are always a plus lol..

Akido I used to keep the bigger CA/SA cichlids...then I too moved towards smaller cichlids from SA/CA. Then I moved to African cichlids. You may find yourself doing the same thing. The CA/SA look great when you have 20 small ones in a 125G. Then if you ever see a nice display tank with 20-30 Africans you decide to try just one tank. Then you are hooked. The metamorphasis took about 10 years for me. I just got rid of my last big cichlids...a trio of gold Jags. Now I am strictly Tangs and Malawi cichlids. When you see a nice 480G with some Ngara flametails and some benga or baenschi peacocks you will wonder how they would look in your tank...
 
led, my 450gal was initially intended for a sh*t load of africans ;)


none of my fish geek buddies are into the africans so thatll keep me out of the african scene.
 
Hey Akido......you have a PM
