THUNDER Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 (edited) Hi my name is Kyle and I have been in the hobby for about 6 years now. I started small with community tropical fish like danios, tetras, and guppies. I used to breed guppies for about 2 years and had lots of sucess! I got bored of small community tanks and started giving up the hobby. Luckily I came across a 72 gallon bowfront tank for a great price and bought it. I knew I wanted colorful and more difficult fish to keep. And thats when I found out about african cichlids and have been hooked ever since. I have kept mostly mbunas and haps in my tank and try to get more rarer breeds of africans like peacocks. I would say I am not a master at africans cichlids but not any where near a begginer. I have made a few mistakes like buying haps not knowing how large they get and they will not be in my tank much longer. I have a breeding pair of either Johanni or Maingano and I am hoping my OB peacock breeds too. I am looking for peacocks and rare breeds of mbunas to add to my tank. I currently have these fish in my tank: 2 OB Peacock Male and Female 2 Johanni or Maingano Male and female 1 Red Zebra 1 Albino Zebra 1 Acei 1 electric yellow lab 1 Blue Dolphin 1 Venustus 1 Livingstonii 1 Jewel I currently have 4 active tanks in my house out of 5. I have a five gallon for emerginces. Two 10 gallons one with cichlid fry and the other with two green spotted puffers. Also a 20 gallon where i grow out fish to keep to go in the 72 gallon or to sell. And then my favorite my African Cichlid 72 gallon tank. So I have some work to do getting rid of fish and finding some rare breeds. If anyone would like to make a deal drop a line THX. Have a Great Day and good luck with your tanks!!!!! Here are some pics of my fish. http://s847.photobuc.../AC-THUNDER-DC/ Edited April 8, 2010 by THUNDER Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
