We told you the 55 was to small for them anyways you could only keep one in there and grow the other other out in a 40 breeder atleast.
I found this site after the LFS screwed me by selling me enough cichlids to thouroughly stock a 500+ gallon tank with a huge sump into my 55. Once I started coming home to dead fish I realized the LFS was lieng to me and I had to some researchon my own then i found this site took care of my fish now i got a 240 in less then a year and want to go even bigger
I thought this site was like a couple I was already a memeber of... then I saw an avatar (i think its neoprodigy's) of a cat with a pair of headphones on bobbing its head back and forth, and immediately spit pop all over my screen and keyboard... I joined as soon as I cleaned up.
I'd seen a link to MFK someplace and figured I'd check it out. And here was a bunch of guys I could dig, cichlid freaks...bichir freaks...aro freaks. Then I checked out some pics (dieselmack's come to mind). Well I was hooked for sure.
I didn't join because I read some posts and there was a LOT of flaming, bickering and arguing amongst the members at that time. It seemed like a very stressful environment. It took me a whole year before I even clicked back on this site and signed up soon after.
