There hasn't been a fish thread on here for a while so I thought my new setup is a good excuse to start one.

Had a 3 foot tank setup with tropical fish for ages, but I recently cleaned it all out and changed it to a cichlid tank.

That last fish as small as it is will beat the crap out of the rest ...

Nice =)

I give it a week or so before your plants are all floating

the plants have already been in there for longer than a week :P

they like chewing them off half way up the stem, but then i just re-plant them somewhere else

I had two gold fish.

My gold fish died.

Now I have no gold fish.

nice, but i don't like the pink rock.

what's the weekly running/maintenance costs for a getup that size?

s*** all.

nice, but i don't like the pink rock.

It's actually orange IRL (it's made out of clay). I hope it will get darker after it has been in the water for a while.

check your pm's splash

very nice african setup splash :D i like the moulded clay house :D i bet the cichlids do too! i'll post some pix of my new 2' tank tomorrow... now i have 3 tanks :P

i lost 2 clown loachs, a borneo sucker & a little bristlenose on the weekend to a massive white spot outbreak :/ damn large temperature swings. it's kinda wierd... i've never had a heap of fish die from white spot before... usually i see it & treat it & maybe one fish will die... but this time a heap died str8 up. oh wells... another 3 days to wait out the parasitic cycle & then i can buy some new fish! :D

yeah clown loaches are bad for white spot

we got some from a certain shop in mt gravatt and they came with white spot, didn't last very long :(

clown loaches are awesome fish though

I'm buying all new furniture for my room, to create space, to fit my fish tank up again.
YEAH.

Don't look behind you lil girl....
