Description:
70 gallon freshwater. 1 Emperor 400, 1 Penguin powerhead. Sometimes I think I need more filtration. The powerhead is just to help with circulation and aeration.
Advice:
Bigger tanks are easier.
Fish Kept:
18 fish total, 9 cichlids, 2 corys, 1 pleco, 4 algae eaters, 2 rosy barbs. Also 3 prawn that managed to hide and grow big enough to fend off the fish. Cichlids are a mix, but they all have their own spot and get along. The largest, which is hiding in the back left corner, is a Jack Dempsey measuring about 8" long. The rosy barbs were doomed/moved to this tank while cleaning the small tank. They're not much bigger than some of the feeder fish we buy.
I probably breaking all the rules, but here are my cichlids (best guesses on some):
2 - Jack Dempseys (Jack & JJ)
1 - Yellow Lab (Stripe)
1 - Super VC10 (Spot)
1 - Hap Ahli (Ice)
1 - Tropheus duboisi (Ringo)
1 - Julidochromis marlieri Burundi (Grid)
1 - Blood Parrot (Bubbles)
1 - Hemichromis stellifer (Jewel)

Among the thousands of freshwater fish species available in the aquarium trade, few families command as much fascination, admiration, and passionate debate as cichlids.
Few experiences in the aquarium hobby are as heart-stopping as looking into your tank during feeding time, counting fins, and realizing one of your favorite fish is missing, only to discover it squeezed into a perilous gap behind the filter or wedge-pinned behind a heavy resin castle.
For decades, freshwater aquarium salt has been hailed as a staple remedy in the fishkeeping community, often passed down from experienced hobbyists as a universal cure-all for sick, stressed, or newly acquired fish.
