Hello CCA!

Hello,

I've kept tropical fish on and off over the years including a number of cichlids. I'm just getting back into the hobby and currently fishless cycling a 30 gallon tank. I plan to add at least one or two other tanks for quarantine and fry etc. I'm fond of dwarf cichlids and have kept both south American and some African varieties (not together).

Currently toying with the idea of stocking and possibly breeding Julidochromis Transcriptus. I initially had in mind a different cichlid entirely but I don't have the tank space to make it feasible and since I'm doing this in my basement apartment not sure I would be able to build a proper fish room. I might be able to get away with a fish wall with perhaps six smallish tanks (30 gallon and under).

I'm having a lot of fun trying out a lot of the ideas put forward by the DIY King on YouTube.

Thanks for having me here,
Jon

Hey Jon and welcome to the forum! The CCA has a lot of great knowledgeable people.

Julidochromis Transcriptus is a beautiful fish. I haven't had the pleasure of keeping it though. I've always had my eye on it. I'd be really interested to see your setup once you get it going.

You'd be surprised by what you can fit and keep in an apartment! :D :party0003:

I flew from Deale to Easton quite a bit this summer to practice my pattern work and landings. By small plane it's a very short trip, very scenic. Less than 30 minutes in a Piper Cherokee.

You'll find that there is an epidemic of MTS that is going around the club. You'll soon be infected. It's hard to resist.

MTS = Multiple Tank Syndrome.

When I joined the club, I had a lonely 75 gallon tank. I think I was at 20 tanks over 800 gallons last time I checked.
