Photo #7 - My Name Is Chow And I Really Love To Eat. Pig Out...

freshwater fish - metriaclima lombardoi - kenyi cichlid stocking in 55 gallons tank - My name is Chow and I really love to eat. Pig out is the name of my game and I dont see any need to share with the rest of the gang. I'm not quite sure what kind of Cichlid I am as of yet but as soon as I figure it out you will all know. Maby you do know and you can tell me.

Description: Im Using an All Glass 55 Gallon aquarium with the demensions of 48" Length, 12 1/2" Depth and 18" High. I'm using a ProQuatics canister filter 2400 with a Fluval 304 canaster filter for backup and even though this combo is slightly overkill it keeps the tank very clean for a healthy Cichlid habitat. For lighting I'm using a 48" 1219 mm Reef Sun 50/50 florescent lamp by Zoo Med Aquatics. For superior airation and circulation I'm using twin power heads. Heating is provided by a 200 W submersible heater.

Advice: My advice to any beginner is to start small and aim big. A larger size tank can be quite a commitment. If a beginner jumps right into a larger size tank they can easily find themselves overwhelmed by the time and effort it takes to maintain a good healty environment for their fish to thrive. Don't sweat loosing fish, it happens to all of us no matter what the experience level. Most importantly have fun. It's just a hobby, if it gets too serious it's time to get out.

Fish Kept: I have 3 different varieties of Peacock Cichlids - 1 Red Zebra Cichlid - 1 Electric Blue Cichlid - 1 Green Terror Cichlid - 1 Electric Yellow Cichlid - 1 Big Lipped Cichlid - one Albino Cichlid and 3 Cichlids whos species origin is yet to be identified. I also have one Dinosaur Birch who my Cichlids seem to leave alone and two very small plecostomus but one of them I'm growing for another tank tht is still cycling.

Corals/Plants: A variety of different artificial plants. I plan to gradually replace all of my artificial plants with live ones but seen as how this tank is only a few months old I havent gotton to that point yet.

Tank Size: 55 gallons

About Yourself: First and foremost I'm a dedicated believer and follower of Jesus Christ. Beyond that I'm a Construction Worker by day and a Web Designer by night. After a long day of hard labor there is nothing more relaxing than planting myself in front of my aquarium and shedding the stress of the day.
