I have raised tropical fish for most of my lifetime and have had countless tanks along the way. As a child, I bred guppies, bettas, mollies, convicts, jewel cichlids, and a few others. Since that time I have kept more than I can mention and have bred brichardi, various mbuna, aulonocara, synodontis lucipinnus, julidochromis marlieri, julidochromis transcriptus, neolamprologus leleupi, labidochromis, and a few others I'm forgetting at the moment.

Before moving from my previous house, I got rid of all my fish, tanks, and most of my equipment because moving to a new house and having my parents move in with my family was going to demand a lot of my time. I lasted four years without a tank, but it couldn't continue. I recently set up a couple tanks and cycled them and am ready to get Tanganyikan cichlids again. I plan to have Cyprichromis, Julidochromis Transcriptus, and possibly Calvus or caudopunctatus in my 75 with sump. I have a ten gallon set up as a quarantine tank but will probably breed shrimp in it. I have a 20, 55, and 100 waiting for good locations, time, and any good excuse to set them up.

It's good to get my elbows wet again.

Nice tank!

Your tank looks cool! I love what you've done with the slabs of rock.
Thanks. That's my budget solution to adding multiple sizes of hiding spots for my fish. It worked well for small
crayfish, too at one point. My cichlids had crayfish to eat regularly, but some grew big enough to keep the cycle going.
