the tank isnt actually that cloudy i think the flash had something to do with that there oh well hope you like it!
 
what a beautiful tank, and lovely chiclids. I think the fiddler crab's pretty cool; has he ever caught a fish?
 
The 55 looks awesome. What is it that you have your 55 on? That doesn't look like something I would trust 550lbs or so to hold up. :thud: That looks like an awful lot of fish in that 2.5 gallon tank. Don't fiddler crabs need land as well? What do you feed fiddler crabs anyway? Sorry, if I seem like a nag juust concerned. :spam:
 
yeah, I totally aggree, that stand the 55 is on is a bit scarey and would surely have me nervous...... BUT I love the look of the tank though. What is the big guy on the bottom left? He's beautiful!
 
thanks for the comments guys, and the two little cichlds and the fiddler crabs in the little tank eat those guppies and they eat flakes and sinking shrimp pellets. i usually have to put a dozen guppies or so every other week to keep them satisfied. and the water level is lowered now such that the crabs climb the plants and hang out out of the water.

lol as far as the stand, it was a tv stand that i converted to a tank stand, its held for two years now so im no longer worried. and the big cichlid in the 55... i have no idea what breed he is, i got all of those fish from a friend at pet supermarket when i first got the tank, they were all little fledgling fish and my buddy dipped the net and scooped up about a dozen fish and there they are... i know the yellow one and the blue ones are labs, but the others...? we call the big one mohawk for obvious reasons. thanks all!
 
thanks, the piece on the left is actually plastic, got it t petsmart, and the right piece is actual driftwood that i saw at pet supermarket and just had to get... the tank used to house a few crays and i think they really enjoyed the natural piece better.
 
Can you give us some updated photos?
