I don't have any pix of my 55 and it is only going to but up for about another week or two.. Hopefully!:D

What I have, 1 Medium Frontosa
1 Smallish Pearsei
1 Smallish Lyonsi
1 small Synspilum
1 small Guttulatum
1 Medium Gold Severum
1 Medium JD

They are all going into a 150g soon!! None of can wait either! LOL
 
wait a 55 is too small for one O? what size should i have him in?? if im upgrading, i would want one big enough for 2 so what size should that be?
 
I would say 110 on the oscar tank would be safe. My 55 has 1 large fire eel sorry no pics not much of a display tank just sand and pvc pipe
 
I need to post some pics but my 55 is stocked with:

1 Tunze pump
Hundreds of bioballs
A pound of poly fill
A couple hoses
 
I have a couple of 55s, both have young little cichlids growing out in them.

This first one came with everything for about 100 dollars, gravel and decorations included. But I did end up putting close to another 100 in it by replacing the filters with an AC 100, and the heater with a submersible. Right now I have young mayans and pollenis in there growing out. I plan to replace the cheesey decorations with rocks I'll collect once the climate is more favorable here. I can live with the gravel.

Thanks! Hopefully it will be nicer once I get some good rocks in there.

This one is in my new fishroom in the basement, it is also powered by an AC 110. It has a sand y bottom, and rocks I collected from a local river. There are marbled convicts and Lamprologus tetracanthus in there. It won't have CA cichlids in there for too much longer. I plan to move out the convicts eventually and find them another aquarium. They might get mauled by those nasty tetracanthus. So far I don't see any damage done. I have more rocks to add, but I'll wait untill after I move the convicts.
