Newbie, monster fish keeper wanna be!!

[sheyene29]

Hello! I've been lurking here for a few days, droolin over all the beautiful fish and set ups every one has. I'm a monster fish keeper wanna be, but currently only have a 30 g tank with 2 gold fish, and one pleco that we bought for my 6 year old for his birthday, totally uneducated about fish keeping. Since then we've been wanting to move on to more exotic fish, and of course a bigger more exotic tank to house those exotic fish lol.

I think Cichlids are what keep grabbing my fancy, but will have to wait until we can upgrade to a bigger tank from what I've learned so far.

Glad to be here, already have learned so much. Look forward to meeting you all.

P.S. This forum moves super fast! I thought the other forum I was on was fast, but this really takes the cake lol!!

Thank you so much for the warm welcome!!

I would LOVE a 300g, but unfortunetly our current house just wouldn't be big enough.....gonna have to move to fit one lol.

I originally was interested in the oscars, but had no clue there were so many species until I started stalking this forum. Now I'm really gonna have to do my homework before I decide.

Any suggestions?? I would really like to get one now that would happily live in a 30g, is there such a species?
