About Yourself:
From the time i was a small kid i wanted to have an aquarium.But only 3 years ago i got into the hobby and bought a small 25 gallon tank. I experimented a lot with different kinds of fish. I loved african Cichlids but noticed that they need a bigger tank, a 100 gallon tank is a minimum. So i bought this tank...
Fish Kept:
4 yellow labs, 3 frontosas, 1 blue peackock, 2 lelupies, 1 duboisi, 1 venustus, 1 johanni+1 red zebra+1 white Zebra or albino...+1 ice blue cobalt+3 blue dolphins. I plan to add 15 more.
Corals/Plants:
Rocks from the mountains of lebanon.Crushed coral.
Tank Size:
100 gallons
Advice:
Don't rely on the guy in the aquarium shop to choose you're fish.....do you're own research.
Over filter and do 20% water changes every week...dont use any chemicals for the water.
