Starting out~

[OklahomaCichlid]

Here is my 38g tank. Using a Tetra FS30-60 Filter and a Marineland Penguin 330 for filtration. Also a 10" bubble bar, 4" bubble bar, 3 pieces assorted 4" PVC plumbing pipe, 100watt heater, 20w fluorescent bulb from Lowe's.

I plan to get some Cichlid stones/caves and change the tank decor to something more suitable to the cichlids. This is temporary for now. They seem to like to hide in the pipe pieces though!

Just a work in progress!

Oh Also!

If you look closely you will see that the cichlid in the middle of the bottom picture has actually done it, but it has dug out all the gravel from one side of the Y-Pipe in the middle and undermined it to the other side, and the fish actually swim underneath it now! I'm still trying to learn what cichlids i have as these all came from Wal-Mart (i know, i know, lol). So any help with that is greatly appreciated!

Thank you for the replies! I've made a few changes to the tank recently, mainly just changing the decor a bit. Looking into getting a 55g now!
