    We have babies!!!!

    I know this is not marine related, but I still wanna show them off.

    I set up a 30g FW tank for cichlids to have something to tinker with while I'm working on my 150. I purchaed several African cichlids from a LFS that were too young to be able to sex. Luck have it that I got a pair of yellow cichlids that took a liking to each other. Now 3 months after setting up this tank we have 5 or 6 babies. I have them in a 10g that I used to QT the mommy while she was brooding the eggs, and have since moved her back to the main tank.

    So for 3 months in, I guess I'm doing something right.

    For size reference, this is aragonite sand they are floating ove

    There is no elevator to success in marine tanks. You have to take the stairs.
