125 Gallon African Cichlid Tank |
| Advice: |
Take your time and DONT USE CHARCOAL!!!!(please read ahead as to why!!) If you decide to not use charcoal (and save a lot of $$), you MUST do at least a 30% water change at least once every other week. My tank is a little overstocked (they are African Cichlids!) and I do a 30% water change every week. They are breeding like crazy and it's the easiest tank to take care of. |

I watch my tank more than tv! Fish are relaxing and my cichlids keep me entertained :) I've had reef, planted and all things in between, cichlids have been the best so far! |

Take your time - there is no rush. Study as much as you can on EVERYTHING.... From tank size to the species of fish. Good planning is all worth it in the end. |

My Cichlid Sanctuary. |
| Advice: |
Reserch before you start. Just because some cichlid foods are marketed for all cichlids does not mean they are best for your fish. There are three kind of fish carnivours, omnivours and herbavours feed accordingly. |
| Fish Kept: |
1 male, 3 female Melanochromis Auratus, 2 male 1 female Pseudotropheus Polits, 2 Red Zebra (one is albino), 1 Bumblebee cichlid, 2 Cobalt Blue Zebra, 1 Peacock, 1Frontosa, and 1 Placo. |
| Plants Kept: |
Gravel, sand, river rock, volcanic rock, driftwood, and fake plants. |
