Misc cichlid tank
« on: October 16, 2013, 10:56:48 PM »
Anyone do a "misc" cichlid tank?

I have a bunch of misc fish and I was thinking of just putting them in a 75 and just let them do there thing. I will just feed them and do water changes

In the fish hobby is this fround apon?

its your tank you can do what you want with them, if your not breeding them you can try to put whatever you want in a tank together. plus its your hobby for your enjoyment. do your thing bud. people put centrals and southies in with africans and stuff all the tume. i dont think anyone will look down on you if you consolidate your misc fish to one tank. even if they do who cares its your hobby.

I have about 18,000 rounds of .223 I'm  looking to get rid of, 100 rd bags. 1-4 bags $40 ea, 5-9 bags $38 ea, 10 or more bags $35 ea. I can't put this in the for sale section, its not fish related. No shipping.

No tiger barbs?  I thought all your tanks had tiger barbs. :)

Look up my thread on my 140 gallon.  Didnt intend on it being a misc tank from the start... but ended up that way.

Lost my first fish from aggression in it just this week.  Other than that... been a great tank.

There are all kinds of fish in this tank.  Anything breeds... the fry becomes food.  I do TRY to stay away from females in the tank.
