Hey guys,

I stumbled upon this forum while searching the net for some Cichlid info, so i figured I'd sign up and introduce myself.

Basically the tank has seen a fair few species in its life ranging from Barra's, yabbies to tetras. Anyway saw a few Cichlid setup's while checking out a few aquariums for ideas and figured we're give it a go.

I've had the tank set up for nearly six months now, had a few hicups along the way with fish dieing, the water cycling tanking forever, etc. But all sorted now and they're going strong.

The tanks a 340L, with around 25-30 fish atm all juveniles ranging from 3cm-10cm odd (guessing)

Currently doing 30% & 50% water changes rotating fortnightly & feeding them twice a day on flakes & pellets.

As for the fish species as you can see there's a rather large range smile.gif

More pics

Any tips & ideas more then welcome.

Anyway enjoy,

Cheers
Rhys

Welcome to the forums, I hope you find it pleasant and informative here.
Is this your first tank or have you had others before?

Cheers Cawdor,

I've had others before, but nothing requiring as much maintenance as these. The tank hasn't been used for a few years but prior to the current set up the last major one was a cool barramundi.
