Lurkers invited to join as well.

Please add the name of what you keep that is not cichlids. You can note your cichlids too just trying to show diversity of what we keep

Giant danio guppies platys swordtails Cory cats and a Betta named bob.

And a bunch of Vic's

In addition to cichlids, I keep wild-type livebearers, a few plecos from Uruguay, a 150g of tetras and - our most recent - a (bullhead?) catfish from the pond near our house...

While fishing around the Oregon coast while a kid I think I caught a very small bullhead catfish.

I think goodeids may be my next fish out of 42 different types I think 30 are critically endangered. Yikes!

I've got a few tetras here and there, but mostly cichlids and catfish. I also have a soft spot for the anabantids so I have a few of those as well.

Only one of my tanks does not have cichlids in it, and that is a 20H with a group of Rio Tocantins ancistrus that I am growing out in hopes of breeding. I have a smattering of other fish as dithers in a portion of my tanks, mostly tetras or silver dollars. I do have 2 tanks with aquatic turtles as well.
