Fish Keeping.

[Nordecke]

Does anybody keep fish and if so what type ie marine freshwater or goldfish

I'm a big fresh water hobbyist.. Don't have any now cuz when I moved to Cali I got rid of them. Back in OH now and soon will have another set up.. I like African Cichlids/ South American Cichlids.. ( I dont mix them though ) "some people do"

yep sounds right.. These fish get big it's reccomended that you have at the very least a 75 gallon tank, with plenty of cave like hiding places.. Big= 5-7 inches. .. They are also very aggresive and dont do well with many other types of fish.. Good luck setting up mate..

thats what's great about African Cic's, they come in all types of colors.. just have to find the best stores.. I would recommend introducing your fish slowly so you don't shock the biological make up of your tank.. And so you don't create a stressful environment..

so you have a nice biological make-up.. I would still advise adding fish in groups of 3, 4 at the most.. I would take your community fish out obviously before adding Africans, the Africans will wreck their little faces..

I used to have loads of fish, goldfish and such, but my cats ate them. :/

I want a massive tank with tropical fish in though
