90 gallon bowfront $ african cichlids |
| Quote: |
Keeping it all natural. |
| About Yourself: |
I work shift work at a refinery. The fish are relaxing to watch and enjoy after the work day is done. |
| Advice: |
Try not to buy entire put together kits when buying an aquarium as the componets are generally poor quality. Buy your tank separtely and upgrade in better equipment.
When going with african cichlids purchase your peacock cichlids, cats & algae eaters first and later after a couple months add your more aggresive mbuna. The mbuna may not attack the established fish in your tank but they will be very aggressive or kill new fish. Learned the hard way. |
| Fish Kept: |
25 male only african cichlids (mbunas & peacocks), 1 convict (south american), 2 catfish, 2 clown loach. |
