Ooooh, great ideas ya'll!
But we have about a dozen rolls of adding machine tape and about 2 dozen rolls of clear packing tape, so I
was trying to use up some of the junk we have on hand! Especially with all the new tanks up & running & waiting
for their inhabitants. Whew! But I actually am starting a list of everything we have as far as fish. I'll try to get it posted here after the new fish come in this week.

I actually found an idea on one of those remodeling/home cleanup shows on TV...Chalkboard paint on the frint of my racks. Mine are wood 2x4's so it would work They used it in a garage shelving setup. If you move something, erase it and put it on somewhere else....Just don't use fingernails :angry3:
I'm a teacher in Potomac where I keep a 55 Gal. tank of African cichlids. I had this tank at home (germantown) for years and kept Africans with varying degrees of success. I now have 13 fish. The king of the tank is a 5" L. Hongi and there's a P. Daktari, N. Brichardi, T. Duboisi, P. Acei, O. Lithobates, C. Borleyi, 4 N. Leleupi, a Synodontis Brichardi, an unfortunately a strawberry peacock hybrid. It's a lovely fish, I just hadn't planned on supporting hybridization, but I guess it's all through our hobby now. I would like to see some breeding in the tank. I had a gorgeous pair of what I bought as obliquidens but was likely sp. 44 and they had 8 or 10 broods before he killed her with attention and then faded away himself. The kids really enjoyed the breeding process, so I was hoping to find folks I could trade or purchase females from as most of my fish are males.

OK. Since you asked.
The 65 high has the FFCs (feral florida cichlids) I brought back from my last visit. I dipnetted them from the canals around Miami and Fort Lauderdale:
4 or 5 Hemichromis letourneuxi (Jewel cichlids)
4 cichlasoma uropthalmus (mayan cichlids)
I cichlasoma salvini
2 cichlasoma bimaculatum (black acaras)
1 jaguar guapote
In the 55 I won at the CCA raffle some years ago
4 yellow lab breeders
5 ruby red peacocks
7 albino ancistrus from a CCA auction
In the 29 high:
3 Aulonocara stuartgranti, "Chilumba"
plus a couple of clowns and a mature ancistrus
In the 20 long:
3 Maylandia sp. "long pelvic"
5 Melanochromis johani
6 younger yellow labs.
Plus, scattered in other tanks
juvenile jewel cichlid, jaguar guapote and salvini
I keep non cichlids, too:
black banded sunnies (you would not believe how cool these are.)
colony of Fundulopanchax scheeli (neat african killie)
A big ugly feral florida pleco that eats cichlid resistant val
2 cory species
And what may well be the fish that wins best in show at the catfish convention
(It's a surprise, so you'll just have to wait and see.)

I have lately added some more Africans to my collection.
Here are the following;
Dimidiochromis compressiceps (my first)
Alpha Male Aulonocara Baenschi
Alpha Male Taiwan Reef Steveni
Blue Orchid Kandeensis
Neon Violet Ungi Peacocks
Some new Red Shoulder Peacocks
BiColor Peacock Juveniles.
Sunburst Peacock Juvi
Aulonocara Benga Peacocks too
And a few Red Ngara Flametails
A female Demasoni and an extra Alpha Male Yellow Blaze Litobates and Nimbochromis Venustus juvi.
Oh, I forgot...a sweet looking Red Eurika Juvi. He's already showing color.
Finally, I had some Chilotilapia Rhoadesii, gave them away and now I have them back. :smashfreakB:
Lost the following;
Lwanda, Electric Blue Ali, Red fin Borleyi, Maylandi, OB Peacock, Red Ruby Peacock and Aulonocara Blue Regal F1.
You win some and you lose some.
