Fishroom Beginnings

[BigBen1989]

Hi Everyone. I have posted here a few times before, but not many. It looks quite active here so I thought I'd reintroduce myself . I have been keeping fish for about 11 years, mostly with South American communities, and a brief foray into Discus and Mbuna cichlids that were both unsuccessful. My main interest is Dwarf Cichlids and Cory's (I've had 26 (maybe more) different species at one time or another). I have two tanks currently running, a Roma 240 with Angels, Keyhole Cichlids, Bolivian Rams, Sultan Pleco, L144, Corydoras C123 and Trilineatus. The other currently running is a Roma 125 with Apistogramma Macmasteri, Beckfords Pencil Fish, Corydoras Pygmaeus, CW010, CW023, and Guianensis, plus a Bristlenose and an L471 pleco. I have commandeered my garage room so I am currently cycling 4 new tanks for breeding and keeping various Dwarf Cichlids and Cory's, hopefully adding more tanks as time goes on. I'd like some Dicrossus Filamentosis next (Lyretail/Chequerboard cichlid). Recently my Angels and Apisto's have started spawning, plus and unknown Cory. Anyway, I guess pictures are essential.

Cheers, Ben.

Absolutely stunning! Love the keyholes, they are so vibrant! Very easy for them to get stressed and lose colour.

Thanks!

The Keyholes have their moments looking a bit stressed, 1 of them in particular. I have 4 males so they're quite friendly without lady to scrap about! They're massively under rated fish in my opinion!

I've had an exciting couples days in the Apisto tank . Mum is doing a fantastic job so far. If they swim off she picks them up and returns them to the group, and most of the other fish have quickly learnt not to bother her!
