Hello everyone! Long time lurker here and finally decided to join.
As the title states, I'm from the Cincinnati area and have been keeping fish for almost 17 years. Currently I have a 150, 55, and a few smaller tanks. The 55 and 150 are considered my "show tanks". The 55 is planted and houses hatchetfish, congo/cardinal tetras, apistogramma panduro pair, and a bristlenose pleco.
The 150 was a mbuna tank with tropheops chilumba, williamsi blue lips, elongatus chewere, yellow tail acei, pearl zebras, and a school of lucipinnis cats. I was getting bored with the mbuna and switched over to what I've been wanting for years. A South American geophagus tank. I made the switch a few months ago and current stock list includes red head tapajos group, single altifrons, Columbian tetras, and silver dollars. I plan to add a pair of severums later this year and call it complete. I already am thinking of the future upgrade for these guys so we'll see...
Lastly, I'll include a few photos. First is my old mbuna setup, second is the current 150 setup, and third pic is the future monsters.
