The Netherlands, purmerend
Hi everyone,
My name is Desire, but please call me Dee.
I am a Dutch housewife of almost 29 and the somewhat proud owner of 2 aquaria. My "big" tank is a 360 liter aquael, where I keep my Mbuna cichlids. In there i have 4 elongatus, 4 cerealeus yellow and 7 afra lions cove mbuna's. There are also 2 red acara's swimming along with these guys, but I have had no issues with fighting, as the acara's are both girls. Then there are my 4 left over convicts, also known as zebra cichlids. Those little nasty monsters just had their first brood so it is time for them to leave and find a special home just for them. My afra lions cove just had their first brood too, but only one fry survived. The elongatus is now swimming around with her mouth full of fry, so hopefully some of those will survive too. In this tank I also have 2 cirhorrus and one elfenwels. It is not a traditional cichlid tank, as I have plants in there as well.
Then I have a little aquael nano, 31.5 liter tank, in there I have 8 galaxy rasbora and 10 espei, along with some blood red snails and some crystal red shrimp.
To add to the minor zoo going on here I also have 2 cats and a Rottweiler.

Well, that's me, I hope I can get all the info and ideas here that I am looking for, because at the end of the day I want a really big tank, but that is probably not considered big by you guys....lol.
If you have any questions about me, my tank or my fish feel free to ask!

View attachment 602539welcome to mfk.. nice to meet you Dutch Housewife.. sounds like you have accomplished quite a bit on your own..but now you have MFK and there is no stopping you now... good luck and see you around the forums..
 
Thanks guys! Now I just have to convince my husband that a bigger tank is a great idea! Lol...
By the way, big for me is like 1500 liters... So not the huge 5000 gallon tanks hahaha.
But... 1500 liters is still a LOT bigger than what I own now. That would be probably about 3 meters in length I guess, depending on the depth and width.
And as I know absolutely nothing about sumps I have some learning to do!

Just take your time Dee, and have patience...learn and ask questions before you make any permanant moves.. and everything will be as it should be.. you will be well informed ahead... not after the fact.. :D
