Hi all!
I have a 15gal (12" x 24") with a Peckoltia cat and 7 tetras (2 adult, 5 juvenile), assorted.
Confession: I've been very bad about tank maintenance over the years.
I actually started out with african cichlids about 13 years ago.
Still love 'em, but after the only survivor went (about 6 yrs.), I decided to go with a So.Amer. community since that's where Mr. P (my cat) was from.
First attempt (4-5 years ago), I added a handful of tetras and a pair of dwarf cichlids. All eventually died, except Tiny, a Head and Tail Lights.
So, it's been Mr. P & Tiny up until now. A shame---I know.
Second attempt: I added the other fish above within the last two weeks and plan to take better care of my tank.
It's really nice to have a place to go to with questions, esp. in case of trouble.
