CA/SA fan from Florida!

Hi there!

I live in the Tampa Bay area of Florida...right now I have only 5 tanks running. All of them freshwater, and my main interest is CA/SA cichlids. So atm I have: 75g w/1 oscar and 1 rainbow. 55g w/1 red texas (hybrid) and 1 rosy barb. 50g w/1 oscar. 40g w/1 EBJD and 4 giant danios. 29g w/1 rainbow and 3 zebra danios and 1 minnow. I also have a rhino pleco that travels between a couple of the tanks.

I used to keep saltwater but gave/sold them all off about 6 months ago. I was in that side of the hobby for 8+ years but started to feel like it was more of a chore than a pleasure and finally realised that I am much more into the big aggressive cichlids!! Been in the fresh side of the hobby for a little over 11 years now...

We are (hopefully) going to be moving soon and once we are settled I will finally be able to get a couple of big tanks!

Then I can start thinking about getting a few more of my "must have" fish like trimacs and veijas!!


Anyway, that's about it!

Glad to see you here
Post some pictures of your tanks! We would love to see them!

WOW. Nice selection. Glad to have you. I have a breeding pair of Jags for sale

Thanks for the warm welcome!


Nice Jags KMX!! Another one of my "must have" fish boy oh boy and the only tanks I have empty are a 20g and a 7g....

Time for more tanks
