My Husband & I have had ciclids for the last 5 years, Last year we moved up from a 20 gal. to 55, wow the fish started to grow fast. We started this as a 4-h project but we ended up raiseing the fish & 4 batches of fry. As new fish people we thought we were lucky. Took them to the local pet store, traded them for aquarium loc-rock, the fish were gone in 1 week, we never got the loc-rocks. We won't do that again. Found out later that they got $10.00 ea. live & learn. we are now moveing up to a 120gal. should be fun. 
Love Nebraska weather!! Woot! Gimme a holla! PM me, come to my forum (Crenicichla), or just chat it up! either way your totally welcome!
