Stocking 30 gallon tank?
×
Hi,
John Howell who has managed the forum for years is getting on and wishes to retire from the role of managing it.
Over the years, he has managed the forum through good days and bad days and he has always been fair.
He has managed to bring his passion for fish keeping to the forum and keep it going for so long.
I wish to thank John for his hard work in keeping the forum going.
With John wishing to "retire" from the role of managing the forum and the forum receiving very little traffic, I think we must agree that forum has come to a natural conclusion and it's time to put it to rest.
I am proposing that the forum be made read-only from March 2022 onwards and that no new users or content be created. The website is still registered for several more years, so the content will still be accessible but no new topics or replies will be allowed.
If there is interest from the ITFS or other fish keeping clubs, we may redirect traffic to them or to a Facebook group but will not actively manage it.
I'd like to thank everyone over the years who helped with forum, posted a reply, started a new topic, ask a question and helped a newbie in fish keeping. And thank you to the sponsors who helped us along the away. Hopefully it made the hobby stronger.
I'd especially like to thank John Howell and Valerie Rousseau for all of their contributions, without them the forum would have never been has successful.
Thank you
Darragh Sherwin

Hi, a buddy of mine wants a pair of cichlids for a 30 gallon tank, he originally wanted Texas blue but I've convinced him its not a good idea. He was then thinking convicts and I warned him about stupid amounts of fry that would be hard to pass on. I think he wants 2 nice show fish that reach maybe 5 to 6 inches. Has anyone any suggestions or is the tank just to small for two 5-6" fish?
Thanks
Paul

Hi Paul he may get away with 2 Geophagus sp. Tapajos 'Red head' they are what you call a show fish, other than that i would stay with the medium size like Rams (electric blue) or a choice of the Apistogramma family
