Aquarium Advice Newbie
Hello All,
I am somewhat of an experienced aquarium keeper. I've had marine before and loved the color of my fish (lionfish, clowns and yellow tangs) but that was years ago. About four months ago I got back into the aquarium thing because my landlord won't let me have any pets, other than fish so I went with a 29g as was my marine tank.
I run an UGF with two aquaclear powerheads and a HOB power filter. I also have four live plants(lilies I believe) and everything is wonderful.
My favorite fish is my huge solid black short tailed angel that basically aks like a dog (begs for food, lets me touch her and watches me as I walk through the room and follows me around BUT can't fetch a ball
Anyways, I see where everyone is into the Cichlid thing. Can anyone tell me why?
Also, I want to get into Discus because of thier beauty but I am told they are hard to keep. Can anyone here help me? I want to keep my FW tank until it crashes then I will go back to marine but shure would like to know the hype on Cichlids and how hard the Discus really are to keep.
