I have been lurking as a guest for a while and figured it was time to make an account.
I am from Port Angeles Wa and needless to say outside of small community tanks the aquarium enthusiasm over here is very sub par.
A little about me-
My passion is with larger ca/sa cichlids. I have a 125 with a male regular JD, female ebjd, male pink JD, female GT, and a salvini that is the bottom of the totem pole and not showing off too much color to determine male or female but I'm leaning towards female as it does have a black blotch on the dorsal. Excluding the salvini all the others are 5-8" (salv is maybe 3.5 or so) and live in harmony (so far) with a school of giant danios.
I also have a 55 grow out with 4 Lyonsi from Jeff Raps that might be about 2".
And finally I have a 75 planted community tank that I am just not that into, I thought it would be fun to have a beautiful planted tank with a couple appisto and some rainbow fish but it really didn't intrigue me near as much as the larger fish do. Currently set in motion to trade the fish in from it, take the plants and substrate out, and revamp into a grow out for a couple Jags.
I just got permission from my wife to go all in on a 96x24x30 in a couple months. My end game would be to house what's in my 125 and my Lyonsi in the big tank and have a 125 with a single male jag or maybe a pair, but a pair might be a stretch depending on the tempermant.
Anyways I will be poking around on here from time to time and wanted to say hello
