Any Fish keepers out there?
I have a 75g and a 10g
My 75g is planted with Onion Bulb and java fern, its been in for months.
The Cichlids do nip it, but it was expected.
There are Yellow Labs, Lethrinops and Kenyan's in my 75g. In a few weeks im splitting them in 2 75g Its currently way over stocked.
In my 10g is a heavily planted /sand tank, I just wanted to try it out for a couple months to see how manageable it is before I move up. In my 10g there are 3 Ghost shrimp, 3 Super Emperor Tetras, 5 cardinal Tetras and a gar
I'll upload a video of my Cichlid tank later..

I am a long term fish keeper, mostly fresh water. Right now I only have two tanks. One is a community tank planted with java fern, some other plants I can't remember the names of, and two angelfish and an assortment of tetras, zebra danios, black neons and cherry barbs. There is also a 10 year old Rafael catfish.
I have another 20 gallon long tank with a long term (7 years) colony of brichardi cichlids and a couple of African catfish. I don't know how long these fish live, but the old adults are at least 8 years old and have produced many broods so there are always young ones.
My boyfriend and I share one fish. He's a betta fish named Soprano. He lives in a fishbowl. And despite the fact that we sometimes forget to feed him or change his water, he never dies. He's about 2yrs old.

Oh my, I have dozens of fish videos and pics *lol* We have an 85 gallon saltwater tank, hooked together with a 28 gallon nano cube, sharing a 39 gallon sump. So plenty of water for our hoard of fish.
Also a 55 gallon fresh water tank. Over the past 11 years I started with a betta...then 5.5 gallon, went through cory cats, figure 8 puffers, guppies, etc. The shovel nose cat we just got a few months ago...the pet store begged us to take him because he had been caught trying to eat one of the ciclids he was held with *lol*
The black fin sharks, upside down catfish, and algea eaters in this tank we've had now for at least 6 years. We kind of left it alone for a long time, and the goldfish finally died off. It was just the catfish for a while...but now the shovel nose (oh yeah, and the remaining crawdad!) provide us with a good show. He ate the other crawdad =P
Very healthy cichlids. I see one or two fish which may need to be removed one day due to aggression. The yellow on your yellow labs is a very good tone. You have yourself a nice setup here. What are you feeding?

This guy needs fattening up eh? Just so you know
What's it eating? Water change schedule? Water readings?

EXCELLENT quality of fish. Just excellent. Your Metriaclima are 10s
Excellent sand planted tank and great use of that log
I used to keep fish but I stopped once I got into reptiles a little more serious. I had just about every type of freshwater setup then got into a saltwater setups. I will have a Harlequin tusk wrasse one day. Thats my dream fish. Maybe the setup will have a tusk wrasse, regal angel, and an Achilles tang. That would be the one for me

We had a gold fish that lived to be 12 when I was younger, thing was a monster, about the size of a smaller football. Too big to flush when it finally died.
Once I move I'll have a spare 29 gallon that I'll clean out, trying to figure out if I want red eyed tree frogs or a piranha or two. Only reason I want piranha is for the name, I know they're boring, frightful fish, but I'm ok with that.
I have a 29 gallon freshwater planted, with 2 angelfish, neon tetras, 1 bolivian ram, cory cats, kuhli loaches, a bristlenose catfish, malaysian trumpet snails, a couple of apple snails and a few oto's. Planted with wisteria, dwarf sagittaria, crypts, anubias, and one aponogeton.
I have a 5 gallon planted with a male betta (the solid red one)
and another 5 gallon planted in my daughters room with a female betta, but I don't have a good pic of that one, although it is aquascaped almost identical to the male betta tank.
The betta tanks are planted with crypts, dwarf sag, and water wisteria.
I used to have a 55 in that I did various community tanks and at one point had some juvenile mbuna, but then we broke it down to use for our ball python. Now I want to put a glass separator in between and make a dual vivarium out of it. These tanks I have up now I have only had up and running since september.
