Thanks for the welcome messages.
Short story...
last summer, my son says: I want a fish tank. I say, no because it's a lot of responsibility and they need maintenance. (I had a 20g tank when I was in college).
Son goes to his mom and she agrees.
They go get a 10g and add fish the same day. (doh!)
After a while, we start dealing with cloudy waters, dead bodies, ammonia, etc.
Son is clueless. I ended up intervening. But it was too late.
All fish died. by then, I wanted fish.
So I started educating myself and researching.
I went to Craigslist and got me the 90g tank with the stand.
I got an FX5, air pump, heater, etc.
By thanksgiving, I successfully cycled the 90g tank.
Somewhere in the cycle process, someone said: why not cychlids?
I was like: why cychilds? don't they fight all the time?
After more research... here I am with a 90g full of them.
To be continued...
