None in this tank

Advice:
Don't rush. I know it's hard but it's never a good idea to rush things. Make sure your tank is fully cycled before adding too many fish.

About Yourself:
I have been into aquariums since I was 10 years old. Started out very small with a 10 gallon aquarium with common live bearers such as guppies, swordtails, mollies, plateys, and others. As I got older I wanted bigger and better stuff. For the last 8 years I have been into African Cichlids. They are my favorite. In the future Im still looking to expand and upgrade my aquarium.
I also enjoy comic books, educational tv shows, and being a proud member of PETA.
