i have had the BG since august i think. he has grown maybe an inch in that time. i have two Penguine bio weel filters that do 350 gph each and a xp3 that also does 350 gph. that makes 1050 gph total. the light is a single strip 130 watt light. the substrate is black sand and i have black slate rock formations. there are two fake plants and im gonna get some more cuz the fish look pretty cool resting in them. um if you have more questions feel free to ask. tank mates are 7 aftican cichlids. the tank has been set up since june last year.

African Cichlids. That's it, OFF WITH HIS HEAD!
GULP!
I guess I better not tell you about the New World cichlids in my 30-gallon tank. Shhhhh! But then again, they're not mixed with natives. On the other hand, do the Central American cichlids count as native North American fishes? Central America is geologically part of North America.

I can't say that I disagree with you now, but what do you suggest I do with my cichlids? On second thought, don't answer that!

Yeah, they count. Central America is part of North America. That means my convicts and midas are North American species. The only cichlid native to the United States is the Texas cichlid however. Personally, I like cichlids, one reason I keep sunfish is because they remind me of cichlids.

Most pet shops will offer trade or a reduced cash value for your cichlids. Many people out there want to start big tanks with big fish. Since they cost much more to ship at these sizes pet shops can move them pretty fast and make a buck or two. The trick is finding the right pet shop.

I don't really want to get rid of them. I was just kidding around. But that tank is at capacity, so I won't be getting any more. The cichlids are cool. And the Honduran Red Point is my daughter's; it was her birthday present. I can't get rid of that! And I still love my loaches. But the expansion of my fish collection has certainly shifted focus. Existing tropical tanks will stay tropical, but new tanks will be native.
