I've been lurking on this list, responding to Fear_the_Swamp and others
about increasing post volume and the types of cichlids subscribers are
keeping at the moment.

I'm a newbie, had the usual goldfish, neons and danios as a kid, back
in the hobby with a vengence within the last year. I started a 38G
Malawi mbuna tank with Pseudotropheus Demasoni (my favorite),
Labidochromis Careuleus and Synodontis Petricola in January. Of
course, there was the requisite hospital/quarantine tank (someone gave
me a 10G).

By September I will have a 125G running with all of the above, along
with Metriaclima Estherae (Cherry Red Zebras), Pseudotropheus Acei and
Pseudotropheus Socolofi.

Picked up a 20G Long for additional quarantine space.

The 38G will be used for Tangs...Altolamprologus Calvus (black),
Julidochromis Marlieri Gombe and Lamprologus Caudopunctatus Kapampa. A
2007 project!
