    Noob here

    Howdy y'all (lol) just want to introduce myself to this incredible community!!

    I'm currently in the process of setting up some type of 55g african tank, getting all the pieces together and what not.  
    While I was doing some internet research I came across this wonderful forum, and boy am I glad I did.  
    I want to thank all the helpful people that post here and hope to become a contributing member.

    Thanks for reading.

          Howdy Aculeus!

          What sort of africans are you leaning towards?

          I'm also interested in your screenname. Is is "aculeus" as in the stinger of a bee?

          Scarecrow: I don't know... But some people without brains do an awful lot of talking... don't they?
          Dorothy: Yes, I guess you're right.

            It is a good site for casual chit chat and for getting help on those things that come up in emergencies.

              You are correct armthehomeless, I used that name for my first WoW toon couple years ago.

              I'm leaning toward any cichlids from Lake Tanganyika that would be comfortable in a 55g.
              Currently I'm waiting to look over a couple books I ordered, before I decide exactly what species.
              If anyone has any ideas, with pictures, that would be appreciated.

              Cichlidfan I live NW Houston off of West Rd and 290, also sent you pm concerning purchasing a bag of the sand you have.

              Thanks for the welcome!

                Altolamprologus



                Shell- Dwellers

                  Welcome to the box Aculeus..

                  Tim has a good selection for you above.  I also like some of the sand dweller species out there..

                  Take a look at Neolamprologus most of them listed are from Lake Tanganyika.
                  Many of these will fit well in a 55g.

                          A BIG welcome from the geeks :)

                          Tim, good call with the Calvis. I love em :) Looking at some myself.

                          Aculeus, you should think about the HAS auction Sunday.
                          All men are created equal but his choices determine his value and what's in his heart determines his worth.

                               Welcome to HFB!

                              It's so good to hear that you're doing your research! That's very smart of you.  

                              There are many people here that have Tanganyika tanks, so you've come to the right place!
