Do you have to clean the tank alot? What kind of filtration system do you have? Are the bass as aggressive as the cichlids? Or are they pretty calm?

thats a great looking tank, what kind of filtration do you have? you must have a mad good system to keep the tank so spotless.

Ooops. I'm new at fish keeping. I got my first tank three months ago, so I really don't know what most fish are, pretty much only the ones that I have and my brother has (he got his tank two months ago). I think I will make a lot of mistakes in names/breeds along the way. There is a lady in another forum website that has been wonderful in helping me along the way.

Daisy :

I clean the tank weekly. I do a 70-80% water change weekly. They can be aggressive but usually it's only to other Cichla and not too much other fish. Although they willfight back if provoked.

I have 2 huge wet dry filters. Measuring about 24"x16". It used to run wetdry style but I wanted to beef up the biological filtration so I submerged the bioballs and raised the water level then I filled the other side of the sump up with ceramic rings and lava rocks for more beneficial bacteria to colonize.

thats one awesome tank!

Thanks
