    55 gallon cichlid tank

    Thanks alot! Yea any rivers or creeks are awesome to get rocks from. Alot of people say boil them, or scrub them. But i just let mine dry out and gave them a nice rinse. Couple hundred pounds of rock would normally be pricey but these are free.99

    Moved everything around again. Added some real drift wood. And the Oscar is about 3-4 inches in length. He is really getting big

    I ran it through the dish washer twice let it dry and then sent it trough again. It seems fine.

    Stocking for 20 GALLON.

    I have a pair of Bolivian rams in my 20 gallon long community. They get along great with the other fish and have great personality. And quite a treat to the eye with great color. ( Germans are more vibrant, but the bolivians look great too. Here is one of mine

    55 gallon cichlid tank

    I have a tiger Oscar, firemouth, blood parrot, convict, and turquoise jewel. And a pleco. Eventually I would like to move the Oscar to a bigger tank, but for now everyone is happy!!

    55 gallon cichlid tank

    I live in new York. I got the rocks from a stream where I fish for trout. Got about 150 pounds worth. And every now and then I like to change and switch them out.
