Hey Richard, fantastic tank you go there

Might I be so bold .... as to recommend American Cichlids? Take a good read about them if you are still deciding, you will be very surprised at the personality and habits of these awesome fish

Hi Richard!

Wow what a l33t tank lol...

Why do u want to get blue dolphin??? Did you lose some in the past? haha jks man... nice tank.. just doing this to make the thread uber long haha

New baby cichlids will look real nice in the tank...

FTW get that 45 dollar limestone b4 some1 else gets it... just to make sure... if ur reading this comment and not Dramat1c, u can steal his limestone rock which is at Aquotix in Cannington on Bannister Road...
ROFLMAO

GG man!!!

HEy monobono,

thanks for your suggestion! I'm thinking of getting red empress and I will go read up more information on American Cichlid.

I have started to get more rock and this is a rock I got from Aquatix

The fish love the rocks as much as I do!!!

Ahahhaha temptazn looks like i got the 45 dollar rock FTW before Dramat1c . GG man!

It's so massive with so many little holes and caves...just right for my little cichlids. :wink:

[Dramat1c]

As Craig's suggested, I have got more lime stone for my tank:





Also got a drift wood on the right hand side of the tank

Here the young lombardoi fighting in my tank:

Hey Craig?

Thanks! Do you mean fill the water all the way up top? loL

RIchard

[Dramat1c]

hahaha thanks!

seroius? wouldn't they jump out of the tank? I thought pplz usualy leave maybe few cm ?

loL i love the rock too man, I only buy the rocks when I have the "love at first sight" feeling. I love the driftwood too but it makes my tank yellow

I like that piece with the tube forming the L shape. I'd buy it for sure.

[Dramat1c]

Thanks Daniel!

I jsut wonder if pplz usually fill the water all the way up top in their tank

Cheers

Richard

[Iamsam]

i fill it to the top but with lids on

[SynoAngel]

Obviously you dont fill your tank up to the coverglass. But I think Craig means leave a gap of 1.5-2cm. I fill my tanks to that level. Your current gap looks about 6-8cm. If you feel your fish may jump, then leave the water level the way it is.

Regards

Daniel
