New to da BOX

[troyofhouston]

Hello All,

I am new to the board upon recommendation of a new friend. I live in Houston, TX. and am fairly new to the aquarium world so you will have to excuse my occasional ignorance LOL!!

I have a 75 gal freshwater tank, an Eheim 2215, an Eheim 2028, an internal UV filter, and an internal pump to assist in flow. It houses 10 African Ciclids, 1 Royal Pleco, and 1 (normal) Pleco.

I hope to learn as much as possible in order to keep my new kids healthy and happy.


Thanks,

Troy

Hi Troy! Welcome aboard....ditto on the question...what type of Africans do you keep?

[troyofhouston]

I have 2 small Yellow Labs, 1 dragon blood, 2 small pearl zebras, 2 medium orange zebras*, 1 large blue orchid peacock*, and 1 large moba*. The * on the end of the last three means that I believe thats what they are. I just bought them yesterday from algarciajr.

Hi Troy,

2 were Red Zebras
1 was Pseudotropheus crabro (Bumblebee cichlid) Male.
The other one is a Pseudotropheus Acei (Yellow Tailed Acei)

Al,

Thanks for the fish and the info. Alamo doesnt have any lava rock but one of the other Bros here on the forum turned me on to a place on the southwest side that has what I need. Once I get it all set up, I will post some pics.

So Nepco had it?

Yep they have it. Someone else just left a reply that a place closer to my house had some the last time he was there too.
