| Advice: |
Read, Read, Surf forums, don't get discouraged if fish die it happens and is something to learn from. Spend the money in the beginning, because you will spend it later anyways. Go for a tank as big as you can afford, then add a foot :) |

| About Yourself: |
I have been into aquariums since I was 10 years old. Started out very small with a 10 gallon aquarium with common live bearers such as guppies, swordtails, mollies, plateys, and others. As I got older I wanted bigger and better stuff. For the last 8 years I have been into African Cichlids. They are my favorite. In the future Im still looking to expand and upgrade my aquarium. Here is a video of my current 75 gallon African Cichlid aquarium

I also enjoy comic books, educational tv shows, and being a proud member of PETA. |

55 Gallon Lake Malawi Mbuna Set-up. This is my favorite tank to watch! Rocks are Lava Rock, and a couple big river rocks underneath for stability. I have black PVC “caves” under all the rocks and two pieces hanging at the back corners as hideouts for females. There are also a couple fake plants for color. Substrate is play sand. I add an African Cichlid buffer with each water change to keep the pH at a steady 8.2. Fish are: Electric Yellow Labs (Labidochromis Caeruleus), Red Zebras (Metriaclima Estherae), Pseudotropheus Yellow Tail Acei, Ice Blue (Metriaclima Greshakei), Labidochromis Hongi, and a Rainbow Shark. African Mbuna will thrive and be happy with the right set-up: a high pH, a lot of rocks and caves and all fish at similar aggression levels. When they are happy they do not hide, they are constantly busy and will spawn all the time. |

| About Yourself: |
My son gave me a 20 gallon tank 2 years ago and that grew into a 55 gallon Lake Malawi Mbuna set-up, and a 30 gallon planted community set-up and 2 fry tanks. I really enjoy watching the interactions and parenting behaviors of my fish. |
| Advice: |
Read all you can about a type of fish you are thinking about. Do your research first!! Don't just buy on impulse, you may very well regret it. ALWAYS remember, those small fish you bring home will grow up someday, so take that into account. Use adult size when filling a tank, not the size they are right from the store. No, you cannot keep community fish with African cichlids! They may all get along now, but when the cichlids reach maturity they WILL kill off the community fish!

| About Yourself: |

Im just into exotic aquatic animals |
| Advice: |
1. Keep on reading and get as much information on fishes before and after buying them (CARE SHEETS).
2. When you encounter problems, which you will for sure, dont worry... Get and compare advices from various advanced hobbyists.
3. Make the design look as natural as possible
4. Aquarium is dual purpose for me:
a. Pets - Hobby
b. Looks good in my place - Make sure you design it well.
Good luck! |
