True True. Here you go. :D It's not the BEST shot, but I'm having trouble ever finding him out of his little house. By the way, what are dithers?

NO! Not liters! Gallons sorry. Maybe it's because I'm from the US :lol: . Use gallons instead of liters and feet instead of meters. Wow, I'm definitely going to have to step it up.

I believe it's 28... you're right though. I didn't know much about cichlids when I got him about a year ago, let alone fish in general. He was about 3 inches when I got him, next thing I knew he was about 7 inches long hehe. All the knowledge I've gained has been in the last week or so on these...

Well I finally got all the dust settled and somewhat decorated the tank... then Mr. JD here had to start digging around a dug down to the lower level of black gravel. Also he completely shoved a small fake plant across the whole tank. The plants are temporary till I get a chance to drop by the...

I feel your pain, I haven't had luck looking for the perfect light for my bowfront either. It's like their extinct or something. :sad:

I've started what looks like a moss farm in my tank :blink: I hope it grows well and becomes something I can show off soon enough hehe. Well I just picked up a Fluval U3, doesn't seem to be anything super special but I thought I'd pair it up with a HOB that pushes 150gph, so know I have a...

Well I decided just to do a slight overhaul of the tank. Took out some of the black gravel and added a layer of sand, and yes I'm having fun waiting for the water to clear up. My JD seems to really enjoy it :D, he's swimming around a lot more and digging around. A few bits of black gravel ended...

Awesome thanks a lot guys. You've answered so many questions and tied so many loose ends. Hopefully I'll have picture up in the next couple days of my new setup. Seeing as how I'm unemployed and all, I have plenty of time for this hobby :D

james_fish - Thank you for confirming I have a JD. So is there a difference between a JD and a Green Terror? And I really love you're tank set up, it's close to what I've been wanting to do. waterdrop - Thanks for summarizing the pro's and con's, really helps. I currently have black gravel...

Awesome thank you very much. Do you have any tips on sand material, or do you only have experience with one type of sand? Oh, and would an HOB filter serve as a good source of mature filter?

OK, so my eyes are about to blow up from reading so much from the beginner resource center. Just about everyone here seems to be the most knowledgeable people in regards to this hobby that I've ever seen, kudos to you all. So please bare with me while I give a little bit of info without boring...

Hi guys, I've had my green terror (I think it is :P) for a little over a year now. I say I think it is because I've seen different looking green terrors and I thought I'd turn to the experts to see if this in fact is what I have believed it to be. Used to have a fire mouth as well but it passed...
