Hello to all,
My name it Trey and I hail from a small town in northern Mississippi. I have some experience in fish keeping but I still consider myself very much a novice. My first aquarium as a kid was a 10 gal. platy tank that I kept for years. Later I discovered cichlids at a local Wal-Mart and thought they would look so cool with my platys... Thus I learned my first two lessons about cichlids; They do not play well with platys and I needed a bigger tank. Since those days I fell in love with cichlids and kept tanks of Jack Dempseys and Jewel cichlids for years but after moving twice I decided to give tanks and all away. That was 11 years ago. I am basically starting from scratch but I want to try something new and still incorperate my favorite species. I am currently planning a 75 gal. planted community tank featuring Bolivian rams. My main goal in registering on these forums is to get advice and help from the ground up and to share the experience. I have never kept a tank this big, nor do I have experience with planted tanks or rams so I'm sure I'll have lots of questions!
