Back in Business
« on: April 19, 2013, 12:54:54 AM »
I finally set up my 125 tonight after the whole moving experiment. Anyone have relatively inexpensive suggestions? Someone needs to talk me out of it before I go to the dark side and get some south Americans. I'm sure Blair would be happy. I have to admit. I think a few varieties would look good under the driftwood I have soaking.

What do you want?  A bunch of activity, but no personality?  Or interactive, glass banging fury?  ;)
(I like the Centrals, not the Souths - BTW )

Go check out Soldans....  They always seem to have Texas for cheap.

Apparently Jeff and I have a different idea of what's inexpensive. Lol

I like centrals and Madagascar cichlids. Just wondering if anyone on the tour or anyone coming to the tour has anything cool in one of those categories to sell. Hopefully some not pet store common.

For "Glass Banging Fury" it's hard to beat a full-grown parental male Caquetia umbriferus.

"Glass Banging Fury". Yes. Do you really want fish that could break the tank, causing thousands of dollars in water damage?!

I'll stick with the much more pleasant (and colorful) old world species.  8)

I'm watching my pleasant and colorful new world wild Crenicichla alta pike cichlids spawning during my lunch break.
