Ahoy!

I'm in Richmond, Virginia and took up cichlid keeping this summer. I'm running a 75 gallon African tank, thinking seriously about changing out my crushed coral substrate for sand here soon.


:jumpy::wub: Love the emoticons here.

Welcome to the forum. What fish are you keeping?

Welcome have any pics of the 75?

I've got P. saulosi and what I believe to be Lithochromis xanthopteryx in there. Sorry for the poor picture quality, my camera's been down for a while.

I got the coral switched out for sand. I'll get a picture up when I can get a decent one. The fish seem to greatly prefer the sand.

I'm fighting a bit of bloat with my saulosi. :( I really don't want to medicate my tank, but I've got the temperature up to 82F and have added aquarium salt. Is there anything else sort of passive that I can do? I've lost two over the past week. On the upside, though, I've got slots opening up. Maybe I'll add some polit or spengerae once things have cleared up.
