^^ cant believe i just read all that, nice tropical setup you have there mate, but i heard cichlids are african fish who cant be mixed with tropical fish, but im not sure, aquarium keeping is quite hard, you have to change 1/4 water every week, feed them everyday, clean the filters, clean clean clean... i enjoy it though and i want to buy a bigger tank, maybe ill go for a 60ltr tank when i have the time for it. finally somebody with a serious post, we need more like that thanks,

ohhhhh yeah a cichlid - that's what it was! guy was only about 1.5-2" in length, and not fiesty at all.
the bigger the aquarium, the easier it is to maintain, because issues that develop usually subside in a short time if you upkeep the aquatic environment, because there is so much healthy water to swallow up any maladies.
i did about a 1/4 water change every two weeks, and my pimp algae-eater did a great job of keeping the walls clean. i vaccummed about 2 out of every 3 water changes.
