I'm jealous! If I have known about Vic's in the beginning that's what I would have done, that or Tangs!!!
 
I would have went a different route aswell bit it is what it is now just saying. At least with you your planning a bigger tank. So go for one now and the other later. :)

If u do vics get some Neochromis greenwoodi or "velvet blacks" pretty fish!!!

I like them too ... i looked at them last night but they r 5in so im thinkin mayb i should put them n a 75g n wait ..i just really want them now..lol
 
Ughh..all the fish i like have the same coloring and barring as the nyerereis...now my mom is helpin pick fish i took 2hrs explain to her that i cant mix this with that or have this together .. she wants to get a few nyerereis...she wants mwanza gulf,ruti island, umm another on i cant remember then pundamilia nansio bay & paralabidochromis sauvagei (which i luv the male n female of these ) it seems like all the vics i like r too big for my tank or i cant mix together...

That's great can't wait to see it finished ;) let us know if you need help
 
Petsmart had 1 stand went off sale yesterday of course n it was natural oak but i wanted black to match evrrything else but i couldnt wait so i got it anyway.. didnt have any caribsea substrate.. cause the hubby told me to buy the good stuff...lol then i asked the woman about the omega one cichilid food n some caves or driftwood .. she said they dont carry cichlid stuff bc it doesnt sale...guess im gonna have to order online my food n fish n look at some rocks..
 
Ya know i dont get how they can sale cichlids n not have the things they need available if someone buys them..thats kinda crazy .. they did say i could prolly drive to the next petsmart which is 2hrs or 3hrs away n they prolly have more stuff..tryin to talk the hubby into going after i get off work in the am ..

I would call first and look online to see if they even carry the stuff. Petsmarts around me don't hardly sell anything for Cichlids just the fish, sand and some food but not what I use.
