Thanks guys...I really missed having an african tank. It's so much more active than an angelfish tank. Now I have both, well sorta.

We acquired a 75g home made wooden & glass front tank last night...it's too nice. We need to make a stand for it....mmm? What do with it when it's ready? We're down to 3 big tanks now...120, 100, 75 and 3 10gs

I think we are going to put more africans in it. My bf wants the 120g be a Frontosa tank after we move. It'd be a great tank for an african set up.
We don't like Oscars too much here. We had a few already, they were all mean. Even our 2" Tiger Oscar. Who ate the belly out of a 3" $60 arrowana. 
Discus is something I really want to keep but are so expensive. |

Ok not keeping the 75g....I really don like it. It has that awful blue background in it permanently....it's about 30 yrs old. I put my foot down no more big tanks until AFTER we moved in Feb/March. The 120 & 100g is too much as it is. But once we get settled in the new place... bring on the big tanks. |

how about a tank with central or south america cichlids?
Your Africans don't need plants of some sort?

They will eat anything that is green. The Mbuna from Lake Malawi love algae. I have mostly Mbuna in my tank. |

Thanks for that info.
In the future I want a cichlid tank and was thinking of doing it planted. Glad I didn't set it up with live plants, they wouldn't of lasted to long.

Here how the tanks are looking now. My bf made the 100g's stand nicer by putting flooring on it.
He also froze his butt off going to get more rocks at the beach for the 120g. I love the look.  |
