Advice:
Don't believe everything you read. When I 1st started fish keeping about 10 years ago or so I use to change the water every 1-2 weeks because that's what I read in a freshwater fish keeping book. But just the water too didnt know you had to vacuum the gravel! Needless to say I couldn't figure out why my fish kept dying since their aquarium & filter were so immaculately clean.
Fish Kept:
Albino Oscar, Convict Cichlid, Jack Dempsey, Acei Cichlid, Ruby Red Peacock, bumblebees cichlid
Corals/Plants:
Artificial plants, rocks mostly collected from a brook at my parents house.
Tank Size:
110 gallons

About Yourself:
I'm a vet tech for small animals. I always enjoyed the tank that was at 1 of my previous jobs. I started small with an old 30g tank I had from when I was a teenager. I started with barbs, loaches, guaramis, & neons. I had lots and lots of failed attempts til I stopped over fussing. Now due to my ex boss not wanting her ci chlids anymore when the tank sprung a leak at work I offered to take what was in the tank warning her that all her fish may not make it in my tank. At the time that I took them I had 2 very large Oscars, a Dempsey, a convict, a few other cichlids. She really could care less for them so in they went. A few didn't make it but the convict & what I believe is some sorta peacock chichlid (which can possibly also b a hybrid when I took it in). They cross bred several times giving me some neat hybrids. Who would of thought.
