So with my other thread have 205 replies, it was getting hard to find the information I needed. After two hours of scrolling through it trying to find a photo- I decided I needed to start a new thread. This post will be the first few months of my tank, and I will slowly update the rest as I uncover photos. When I am updated through around December 2014, the other post will be deleted. I'm hoping I can find more photos of the tank this way.
So when I got the tank, it was a 15 gallon with a yellow lab cichlid, red devil cichlid, and a bristlenose pleco. It had orange and blue gravel with a few coral decorations and fake plants. It also had a moss ball and a mystery plant (to this day even though its long gone now I have no idea what it is)
here is the tank, you can kind of see some of the yellow lab cichlid in the small decoration, and you can see the red devil clearly
And if you want a clearer photo- here are the two fish together- as well as the bristlenose on the glass. This is the only photo I have of all three fish together.
While they were there, there was a little fishy named Phoenix patiently waiting for the tank to free up.
Eventually I did something as little as flipping the background over, it made the biggest difference
Then I cleaned the gravel, which was traumatic seeing before I bought the tank, the owner had never siphoned.
See? Traumatic!
A few days after that, the yellow lab cichlid died in a fight with the red devil. So take that lesson, and don't put New World cichlids with Old World cichlids, it won't end well!!
After he passed away I added some natural decorations, which didn't look good with the gravel at all. But I couldn't afford gravel anyway.
About a month after that, I rehomed the red devil. He had eaten the Bristlenose pleco, so he was taken care of two, but in a very morbid way.
That gets us to early Jan of 2014!
