It’s been a while since everyone updated what they are currently keeping. I think it would be great for us to share what we currently have. I’ll start….yes, petstore nicknames work too, even if they aren’t labeled correctly.

That was my experience with them too…. Slow growers but fairly peaceful fish.

Pictus cats were always a favorite of mine growing up. I had them in community tanks, but they might get too big for a 46…. I don’t remember that much about them except they did well in the community tank and were fun to watch as they swam like a shark on the bottom of the tank.

I need help identifying this plant…. In my bedroom discus tank I am growing a ton of this grassy ball like substance. It’s at the base of all of my plants and I’m now finding it growing randomly in the rocks. I pulled most of it off my plants last gravel vac but it’s coming back. What is it? I...

Pictures: Female polleni cichlid in my living room 75g. It used to be planted but she killed them all. Dovii X jag hybrid male Midas (15”) male Chanco (7”) female Male chocolate cichlid Male turquoise severum A few small growouts from the midas x chanco pair.

I still have an empty 75g tank in the garage since the fahaka passed away two months back. I’ve been thinking about growing out a clown knife fish again as I love them and saw that aquarium paradise had some juveniles in for like $14 dollars. On a side note: now that I’m done coaching...

I’m on spring break so I brought home my angel and betta and left the guppies in my school tank. I’m planning to run in, aqauscape it to give them hiding places and then I’ll add more guppies ( the feeder type that are 5 for a dollar. We are going to do a live observation in my science classes...

I think you have been toying with the idea of the sajica moving on for some time now…. What are you thinking for the community tank? I’d like to see you aqauscape it and pack it with a bunch of cardinal or neon tetras to get those huge micro schools of fish.

I like the new guy! Where is your LFS ?

I like Rafael’s! But the two times I’ve owned them, I typically only see them about twice per year. Haha But they were also little fatties so they were eating.

Yup, looks fairly adult sized. Might get slightly bigger. I do not know the technical name for it, but petsmart usually lumps them under the umbrella of mbuna cichlid ( without proper identification). And you are correct that it needs more space. Most people overcrowd their tanks to disperse...

Must have sold the discus as the ad only shows and mentions 6 fancy goldfish

In college, my room mates and myself found an 8’ long tank for sale…. For the longest time we had an 18” silver arrowana and a 14” jardini arrowana. We quickly found that the silver could live with other fish, but the jardini did not do well with other fish. We had power heads/ wave makers all...

In all of your recent stops, have you seen any Steatocranus casuarius (aka buffalo head cichlids)? I haven’t kept them since highschool and I haven’t seen them forsale in many years, but I’d love to get some and breed them in my classroom tank.
