I'm HansenBrave91 and I just joined the forum! My real name's Desiree, or Dez, for short... whichever you prefer. I live in Phoenix, AZ and I have a cat named Tazz and a chicken named Neke (neekee) in my back yard. Currently, I have an 85 gallon 4 footer with 1 common pleco and a male Labidochromis Caeruleus cichlid by itself. Also have a 20 gallon grow out tank with 6 Labidochromis Caeruleus and 3 young Pseudotropeus Polits. The 6 Labidochromis Caeruleus in the grow out tank are my male's offspring.
My ideal stock list for this 85 gallon is a group of labs, most likely 3-5,
Then my Polits, I'm thinking 1 male with 3 female?
Also want Williamso North Blue Lips, Pseudotropheus Ngara "White tail Acei", Metriaclima Dolphin "Ndonga"(Giant Demasoni), Cynotilapia "Hara" Gallireya Reef, Cynotilapia Lion Lupingu "Purple", and Petrotilapia Genalutea Chimwalani (SP Chimwalani). Ideally, I'd loooove a Syno Granulosis, but people don't recommend keeping them in anything less than a 5 footer, so I'll stick with my pleco for now.
I'd love to have another tank, all male Hap/Peacock show tank, but that won't happen for a long time still. And one more is I'd like to have an angel fish tank with a few silver dollars mixed in and a couple of pictus cats. I'm just sooo partial to the black & white marbles. Also love the occasional koi and the brown marbles, and the jet blacks.
At SOME points, I'd also love to have a Koi pond in the back yard... but that isn't going to happen unless I move somewhere ALOT cooler.
What initially attracted me to join was in the(most likely) very distant future when money is not an issue, I'd like to have a massive Malawi Predator tank with Fossochromis Rostratus, Buccochromis Rhoadesii, Aristrochromis Christyi, Dipidochromis Compressiceps, Nibidochromis Fuscotaeniatus, and Champsochromis Caeruleus. I'm not sure of size right now, but I'd like it to be around 5 ft deep, about 3-4 ft wide and 10-15 ft long. Probably would be using some sort of massive sump... I havn't thought through the details yet, but I know I'd looooooooove to have that sitting right in the middle of my house!
And I have no idea how to set it up, so I'm looking to see what other types of monster fish people keep and how they set things up.
Happy to be here!
