Just one lil 40 L neon aquarium, very simple it was my start in the hobby..
I still need to learn more about paisagism with you guys.
And that other container behind is my quarantine tank.
Unfortunately in Brazil we got the fish, but in the other hand we got high taxes so we cant buy much equipament... =/

An update:
Connected a new 500l tank, where I can place my new collected young Cichla. Actually it's filled with mollies, which I'm using to feed my Cichla sometimes. It's pretty safe, and they also help cleaning the tank because they spend the whole day searching for any kind of food.
as you can see, I added some superior plants to low nitrates and protect mollies offspring in their roots.
Also added one 36 watt UV.
And here is my Cichla:

Very cool Lucas!
You have made a lot of progress on this set up.
I would say the next step is to go bigger and make it a more permanent pond that is very appealing to the eye.
Be it a nice wood framed or concrete pond. Or maybe even a large one dug into the ground.

Yeah bro, we are thinking in the same way. It's cool because of the fish, but when I look at it I feel it's disorganized and out of order.
I was planning about building a 2000L aquarium inside the house, because seeing Cichla from the side is much more eye caughting than seeing from above, but in my opinion, it takes much more maintenance and the outside pond would give much more space and water volume for the fish!
The only question about doing a tank or pond is because I live with my parents, and I'm worried about making it and after moving leaving my parents to take care of the pond and if they don't know how to take care of it, it would screw their house appearance.
I always wanted a pond like a small lake or reservoir, very natural. I'm not very used to planning ponds and the things you need to construct it. I would really like tips from you guys, and how to make your Labrador away from it haha.
Yeah bro, every holy day I'm grate for having my Cichla here. I really love those fish.
Yeah bro, I can't even imagine how could it is!
Here in my city it finally started to rain after a long dry period, and our 25 Celsius feels so cold already. Lol
Lucas check out the DIY tank section.
Silent bob is making a pretty nice one.
You could always make a nice wood one and take it down or move it with you later on down the road.

I didn't know the DIY tank section, and I'm enjoying it pretty much.
Just make one last simple question clear, do the plywood take place of any glass face and hold the water, so it's only a case for the whole glass aquarium?
