My 270g. CA Cichlid Tank

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
brother a very beautiful tank and fish you have there as always, but my man. I could have sworn you just posted a thread in the cichlid forum complaining of two members that came by your place mistaking your Trimac's for Flowerhorn, and that this upset you (giving the impression from your words and way you posted) you were offended (as if you were a purist), but than stated you have kept Flowerhorn in the past which I do know is true. Well I do see a Flowerhorn now in your tank as well. Can not be that much of a purist than right hahah just had to call this one out, and it is good thing that means you are a well rounded hobbyist to recognize beauty in all forms:D:ROFL:

You guys are right....one tank down, two to go. Too busy to drill/plumb the other two tanks so it'll be a couple of weeks. Here's some pictures of the stock: Vieja Zonatum, exCichlasoma Beani, Trimaculatus (Trimac... not Flowerhorn)

Gordon, I'm not a "purist".... just slightly annoyed by the couple guys who came by and called my Trimac a "low grade FH" when they obviously didn't know much of CA Cichlids. I've kept FH.... no dislike towards them.... I'd love to own another Jing Kang.

BTW, that "FH" that you see in the tank is actually a Midas. Stock: Midas, Red Tiger Motaguenses, Trimac.

Your setup is simple and very appealing. In another word, it's too fricken awesome.:drool: I love those clay pots and finally found some in OC.

Walmart brother! The small "strawberry pots" are $3.99 and the larger ones are like $7.99. Small ones are 6" at the mouth and approx. 13" in height..... larger ones are quite a bit larger but I didn't purchase any.

Thanks for the compliments..... bring me an Endli and I'll babysit it for you! :naughty:
