Cichlid Fish

[Zeki Hilmi]

I love my a quarium and get so much joy with it. I'm just waiting for the juvenile fish to start breeding then I will hopefully be breeding a few different species of the Malawi's for resale.

beautiful We used to have a whole lot more but we had a problem in the tank and most of my fishies died.

I love fish tanks though, find them to be the most relaxing and peaceful thing ever

Just have two parrots and mr plecostomus now, but this is how it used to look:

Here is my last set up, was just sold a few weeks back as i would like a bigger aquarium. I know they ain't Cichlids, used to have Wild caught Malawi's before, but once you go Marine, its hard to go back

We also had a marine tank - was just too much maintenance so we ended up selling it

Its alot of work to keep marine tanks looking that pretty!

That is awesome... Too pricey running a marine tank also.

To me its a walk in the park, probably because i enjoy being busy with the tank. But as far as maintenance goes, to me the marine was one of the easiest

haha complete opposites here then Our Freshwater tank looks after itself clean it once every couple of months

The marine tank though was every week otherwise it was an algae infected mess and getting the salt levels right and and and - just too much work, we had five different types of algae in there by the time we sold it

Ye, i hear you. Starting out with the correct equipment (which is always more expensive), helps alot in the long run. Also, i love the water testing, and getting the parameters right, challenging --->rewarding.

Mine once every 2 weeks 1/4 water change and then once a month clean filter... Bang it looks great and fish are happy as a rabbi in a synagogue

What species of Malawi's do you have @Zeki Hilmi ? Looks like theres a few gems

mr plecostomus is my favourite love those fishies, hardy as heck, helps you clean the tank and their skin is rough compared to normal fishies
