Let's See Those 55 Gallon or Smaller Cichlid Tanks

[garfy]

Great tanks everyone!!! Really!! Awesome job with them all. BUT!! This thread is discriminating against us bigger tank owners lol. Seriously great job!!

I enjoyed looking at all the pictures

A 75 gallon tank being labeled "small" is relative to the observer... I could almost fit my 55 inside Convict's 75. Both of our tanks could almost fit in your 143 gallon if you turned my 55 on it's side... (yes, that is jealousy).

Beautiful fish. BTW, what are those white spots on the driftwood in the GBT tank?

Here is my 45g tank.
I hope to gather up some rocks this weekend and remove all the wood.
Loving all the pictures on here.

What's the white and black fish in the lower left hand corner? Looks cool

 

[Blairw75]

It's a small angle fish. Got him off a friend last weekend. Seems to fit in so far

Nice. Not too overwhelming. I love Labs. Is that orange fish on the left a Zebra?

Beware, friend. Although Angel Fish are technically Cichlids, they can't hang with Mbuna, even if they are Labs, which are the most mellow of Mbuna.

The one on the left is a jewel. Really has great coloring.

Thanks for the heads up on the angle fish. I'll keep my eye on it and remove him if I get any problems. Really enjoying the cichlids, it's a nice change from the silver dollar tank I had.

Isn't a Jewel a New World Cichlid?

 

[Blairw75]

I'm not sure. I'm just new to cichlid world. Maybe someone else knows?

Thank you.

The white spots are nerite snail eggs. They lay them everywhere but they don't hatch in FW.

 

[DragonFish71]

Jewels are actually african cichlids, but they are a more peaceful species.
