Hello, I have been keeping tanks since I was a kid. I have almost always kept large SA/CA cichlids. I recently began setting up two 30 gallons, and decided to try planted tanks again (it's been a long time since I tried one out, so I am basically starting from "scratch"). Look forward to learning as much as I can, and hope to use that to avoid failing with the 30's. I would like to stock the tanks with small cichlids of course.

Well, I am thinking about several. Needing to get it narrowed down a bit. Looking at rams, cockatoos, buffalo heads, kribs, ands a few others. Not sure how the buffalo heads would do, from what I gather the kribs would be a little too aggressive for what I want with these tanks. Those are about it, unless there are suggestions? I have kept many of the dwarf cichlids once upon a time, but never breed them, and would like these planted tanks to be a breeding ground for them. Thanks for the welcome and any input you might have.

Thanks for the welcome!

breeding green sevrums in my corner planted tank.

I [smilie=w: severums! Do you have a good stock? I have had some problems finding the ones that I would like locally. The Rotkiels are AWESOME!
One of the other forums I am on people have mentioned the aggression problems with the Kribs. I am used to aggression, but I would really like to keep rasboras and corys with some type of dwarf cichlid pair. If I can't find any that are relatively peaceful spawners I will go with a couple of males from different species. I could always get rams, but I have some in another tank with angels. Any ideas are appreciated. Thanks.

if it where spring or fall i would be selling them soon but i wont ship fish in summer or winter, never had any luck getting them through the mail.

In that case I am looking forward to the fall!

Hopefully I'll see you at one of the HAAS meetings. Maybe we should apply for our own little subforum over here.

I am thinking I will most surely be at the July meeting! Of course they are offering BBQ :hungry:. Having our own little corner here might be nice. Thanks to everyone for the warm welcoming.

Heh heh. I think they "forgot" to tell me that little bit of knowledge on purpose. Somehow, word got out of how much i can eat.

:lol: Yeah, it is at someones house, there is a post about it on the forum. I am going to try and make it, if the BBQ is at least decent then I figure it is worth it. Of course they could be talking about grilling and not BBQ'ing, BIG difference in my book. Let's hope not. Hopefully see you there.
