My 1.5m Cichlid Aquarium.

Various Cichlids housed in a 1.5m x 0.6m x 0.5m. 100l sump filter, 1x Dophin Canister Filter, 2 x Bubblers, 1 x 300w Heater. Large Gravel, and few decorations (they just don't last with the big boys).











My GT was very upset that he didn't get some photo time. Here he is.

 

can i just point out that you have fish from 3 biotopes there that all need dif water PH etc....

 

True. Hasn't been a problem yet though!!!

Go read that - if you keep fish without the correct PH they will die MUCH younger

 

Henk, you are telling our poor friend here that he needs more tanks!! You are quite a promoter of MTS!

Jaguar, nice-looking tank there, where'd you pick it up?

 

Bought it two years ago from a friend who had lost interest. It was originally a marine setup. I desided to go the cichlid route. Cuban, GT and Plec have been in it since I got it.

 

MAdam what i am telling him is that he needs to do research befor he jsut chucks loads of fish into a tank

 

Thats good advise Henk, but sometimes you just fall in love with a fishie when you see it. Then when you get home you have to make a plan with the new family member. Been thru that many a times already.... Thats why I am now sitting at 7 tanks with 4 still coming.....LOL

 

Nice Saum.

 

You are right there Henk... BUT... I have seen a lot of people keep fish from different pH requirements very successfully. The key factor is to keep the pH REGULAR and stable and not erratic and changing.

BUT I will agree with you that the life-span of the fish will be shortened.

 

I have decided to move the Malawi's into a brand new home. Purchased a beautiful 3FT for them. Some serious MTS on the way.

 

LoL - Welcome to the MTS addiction club Jaguar007
