About Yourself:
I got into this hobby because of tetra that I killed because I didnt know anything about cycling a tank. I answer questions for an African Cichlid forum now and I enjoy helping the new comers. I started out many years ago with a 10 gal, then moved up to a 29 gal, then a 32 gal, had a couple other 29 gals with S. Americans in it but didn't really enjoy them as much as I do the Africans. I kept buying fish and had to move up to a 55. I will be moving up to a 120 or better as soon as I can find the tank I want. I find this the most peaceful and enjoyable hobby I have ever had. I love my fish like they were dogs or cat and treat them as such. I name some and I donate the ones that can't get a long in the tank with others. I don't believe in flushing unless they are dead and I have never lost one cichild to any kind of illness which mine have never had. My daughter calls me a 'tree hugger'. She may be right. I do have two favorites in my tank, my first male electric blue johanni "Blue" and my first male Kenyi (Kenny) who is changing to yellow now. They remind me of the ranks in the 'God Father' Blue being Vito and Kenny being Michael. I would like to try a few African Cichlids from Lake Victoria if I can find them. And some day when I am all growed up I am going to ask Santa for a Reef Tank as soon as I become Edumicated.

About Yourself:
Scott and I are avid fish enthusiasts. We have 7 tanks all up. What should be our pride and joy however is still in the process of being repaired. A custom 6x2x2.5 foot tank the support bracing was not strong enough and was bowing out when completely full so at the moment it is half full and not looking good at present. It will be in time where we will keep our cichlids.
What started out as a second hand tank given to us 3 years ago has now taken over our life, our home and our wallet. As anyone knows who is addicted.
Fish Kept:
1 Blue Jahani, 2 Electric Yellows, 2 Lupias, 1 breeding pair of Transcriptus with approx 20 babies, 2 (soon to be more) Trophus Bemba, 1 Syondotus Eruptus, 2 Princess Daffodils, 2 Albino Algae Eaters, 1 male Bristle Nose, 1 Red Emperor, 1 unknown nickname is Blue Opaline.
Just about all the fish are either babies or Juvies and cant wait till they get bigger and their colors start to show more.
Corals/Plants:
mass of Java Moss and 2 Anubias attached to driftwood.
Tank Size:
45 gallons
Advice:
Change the water regularly, dont overfeed and enjoy

This is the latest version of our tank.
