I tried to keep the tank as natural looking as possible. It is really hard to take a good picture of a hexagon tank. |

| About Yourself: |
Started out with a 10 gallon tank and some cheap fish. As I wanted something in my office. After 4 months I graduated to the hexagon tank as it fits perfectly in the corner of my office. I love having the fish to keep me sane when everything is falling apart. |

Are they built for speed or comfort? You motorboated em didn't you, you motorboating son of a..... |
| About Yourself: |
I had a South American Cichlid tank in college prior to the emergence of the internet and thereby readily available information. I had no idea what I was doing and it went badly. Since then I have always wanted to do another tank, but this time I had a clue about what I was doing. |
| Advice: |
Read, Read, Read -
Cycle, Cycle, Cycle
Once your tank is set up chill out with the beverage of your choice and feel your blood pressure lower as you enjoy your tank (great for ignoring commercials as well). |
| Fish Kept: |
Demasoni, Yellow Labs, Cobalt Blues, Dwarf Afra (waiting to see if they mix with the Demasoni OK) I am finding out its the Demasoni that don't mix well with the Demasoni, I started with too few of them I think.

| About Yourself: |
I ACTUALLY STARTED THIS THROUGH MY WIFE, SHE HAD GUPPIES, AND PLATYS. I STARTED THE SEMI AGRESSIVE AND FROM THERE WENT TO CICHLIDS AND THAT WILL BE ALL I EVER OWN. I WORK FOR FRESHPOINT (A PRODUCE SUPPLIER OWNED BY SYSCO FOODS) AS A NIGHT SHIPPING SUPERVISOR. 3 YEARS ON THE JOB. I ALSO BUILD STANDS AND CANOPIES AS A SIDE BUSINESS AND I LOVE THE HOBBY. I ALSO BUILD ALL MY SET UPS. |
| Advice: |
If you are the type of person that takes your interest seriously then do not buy the smallest tank starting out. Also gather info from the internet, books, private owned pet stores (no petsmart/petco) buy supplies from there but take no info. |

| About Yourself: |
HVAC tech by day, aquarist by night. I started a few years ago with a 10gal tank, and grew from there.
I have many tanks ranging from 10gal-210g.
All of my fish are Malawi cichlids. These fish are gorgeous. Colors of these fish are amazing. People think they are saltwater. |
| Advice: |
Can be an expensive hobby, but doesnt have to be.
Be creative, give your fish thier own little heaven, let them live in tranquility. |

My tropical freshwater tank is a custom made to order kit that I purchased from a company in France called Octopus Studios. As you can see from the picture it is a really wild design that gets a lot of wow's from friends. It measures about a metre cubed/3.3 foot cubed and holds about 230Litres/60gall. The kit is a complete setup that includes highest quality eheim filters/ lighting and aeration. |
