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.

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 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.
