How's it goin everyone? I found this site through an ad posted on kijiji and it was nice to finally see a local site for this hobby. Name is Andre, from Belle River (Puce) area. I'm 35. I've recently in the last 3 years gotten back into the hobby after being out of it for quite some time. It's definitely been a learning curve from setting up a new tank to where i am now. Gone through many ups and a lot of down periods of keeping fish. I currently have a 29g african cichlid tank which started out as a community of kenyi, electric yellow, jewel, red devil, auratus. I had to get rid of many because of the tank size being too small as many of them got to 3-4in. I now have a breeding pair of electric yellow's with 2 smaller juveniles and 12 fry (~1in). This is my 2nd batch of fry that i've had success raising. I will be introducing some new cichlids (Acei) once i remove the fry from the tank. I also have a 5 gallons tropical tank in my daughters room. Nothing special just a tank for her.
The plan goin forward will be next year when money will be not so hard on the wallet, I'll be getting a 180-265g to put in the foyer of my house. Will be a cichlid tank but the main showcase of the tank will be a colony of Frontosa's.
Look forward to meeting new local people that enjoy this hobby as much as i do.
Have a good Dre
