Let me start by saying Hello!!!I have recently in the last couple of months discovered the wonderful dwarf cichlids in general, have the big guys, a couple of varieties of jewels my favorite being the Hemichromis lifalli, Seeing as after this discovery, I know have 6 Kribs of what I am hearing referred to as purple, and some albinos, 6 bolivian rams (really getting pretty since their rescue) and a blue who needs friends. Now of course I have discovered the birchardi (?) and boy do I like these little guys, more than likely another tank will have to be added, the temptation won't be held off much longer before it happens, and will have some living in the zoo.
But as far as tanks I have a 75, 55, 36, 3/29, 20, 15, 2/10, 5, 2 1/2, a 12g saltwater, and several big vases with bettas and water plants.
Wanted to say hello to everyone, and sure here in the future will definitely be asking questions. Feather:biggrin:

I have just discovered as I previously said the dwarfs, and the more I see of them the more I like them, love the cockatoo, the ones also referred to as double red (not sure if that is correct or not) but the few I have really enjoy, the rams (Bolivian Walmart rescues) the more they come into their color the more I am liking them, now just have to find the lone blue ram some friends.
I have a pair of chocolate cichlids that are so passive, they have kribs for roomys, which makes things quite a bit less stressful, specially knowing I can put dwarfs in with them, will just have to watch them close when the kribs have little ones (belly turning purple, hurray!). With the dwarfs like the fact you can have all the color and personality without having the large tanks that my lunker cichlids require, not that the kids aren't spoiled as it it.
Thank you for the welcome, I sure I will be picking your brain for more info on theses wonderful little guys and others. Feather
