Fish Crazy
Some info for people to see about my fish
I have been keeping Malawi Cichlids for a little over 18 months, having got into them accidently when i went to buy a second hand tank to start a community tank.
The first tank i owned was a Vision 180
I went through all manner of rocks and substrates and settled on a format that I'm happy with, namely Ocean Rocks and Kiln Dried Sand
My stock of fish quickly grew, as did the need for additional filtration, so i used a Fluval 404 external to run along side the interal Juwel one.
I'm very lucky to live in a High pH, hard water area where the tap water only needs conditioning prior to putting in the tank.
I now have got a Vision 260 tank which has no internal filter, but runs a pair of Fluval External ones as I'm high up on stocking levels.
This said I perform a once a week 25% water change and have no issues with water stats, aggression or sickness.
HAve a look at the pictures below, normally the tank has a black back ground, but recently I've not had it on whilst I've been snapping with the phone, afterall it does not have a flash, so struggles to tank any decent phot's
Anyhow - here goes...
A shot of the tank..
A closer shot of the tank
A 'Group shot' - showing the limits my camera has
Then onto some of my fishes..
