Title: My 125 Cichlid Tank
Post by: lightningfront on December 06, 2008, 19:36:55
Well I'm just getting into reefing, I have been a long time cichlid keeper and I just thought I'd post up my cichlid tank.

Very cool.  One of my co-workers is a big cichlid guy too.  I'm trying to get him to convert to saltwater, but he's not budging.  The rest of my co-workers told him that if he went to saltwater, they were doing an intervention (he had 13 aquariums at last count.)  :)

I had a friend up north who was pushing 12 freshwater tanks. Wouldn't surprise me if he had more by now. Never would go near saltwater either ^_^
He'd be raving over your tank. Very sharp!

My 1st tank was a 125 gal cichlid aquarium. I still think cichlids are the coolest fresh water fish. I don't know if Joel knows this but I went into his original shop by Diamonds and from that point on I wanted a saltwater tank. The rest is history....

Is a 46 big enough for any cool agressive fish?

^ that guy seems to be keeping quite a few ok. seems like those fish would eventually outgrow that tank tho..

Maybe these?
