what does every one keep?

[cichlidmaster]

Ok,
Semper is quite right. It would take several posts to list what I currently keep.

The real reason I don't list what I keep is simply this;

At any given time, the list changes. Unlike most (or all) of the members here, I don't keep but 3 tanks for myself. The other 130 or so tanks are holding tanks for resale fish.

I will list what I keep in the three tanks for myself though:

90 gallon -
13 adult Heros appendiculatum - AKA tourquoise severum
3 Adult Jack Dempsey (a breeding pair and extra mal
1 8" Synodontis eupturus

90 gallon
Distichodus sexfasciatus

50 gallon
Breeding pair of Jack Dempsey

As I said in an earlier post elsewhere, my first love is C/S Americans and I do plan on having 1 or 2 of my 120 gallon tanks dedicated for these species.

If anyone is interested in what I currently keep, you can see the list (slightly out of date ) at my web site. Here

any one who goes to cichlidmaster's list has to keep in mind that it is short 4 wild front's and 3 moori. heehee!

if anything you have got to post pics of kirby! he is just so darn loveable! i just adore that big guy!

just have to put in my two cents worth, but pics could not do justice to your assortment of fish. to get the full cichlidmaster experience you would have to go there for several hours and see the thought and attention he puts into each of his fish. i do have to admit



that he is the type of fishkeeper that i some day hope to pass on to future fishkeepers. he is into it only for the love of the fish.
