Just got a really cheap 10 gallon on ebay (love it) and have decided on something alittle bit more difficult this time and hope it doesn't break the bank. Neolamprologus Multifasciatus, not so colorfull but rare, and interesting shell dwelling cichlids, in fact in my opinion is the most interesting thing anybody could ever have fit in a 10 gallon, The tank is in prep right now, and is cycling with two beunos aires tetras (my devil killed another one, so i decided to move the remaining two over for cycling, instead of buying danios, and will give them to lfs when cycling complete.) I still have to purchase the remaining supplies to make a near perfect Lake Tang eco system, florida crushed coral, and dkh buffer, and cichlid salt. I am going to get 6 and hopefully end up with a combo 1male 2 female, and sell the rest. Will keep you posted as to the progress, and will post pics as soon as they are in the tank.

Well the multies are going to have to wait a little longer. I was walking through the fish dept at the evil empire (walmart) the other day, and spotted what i thought were two babie silver angels in a ten gallon with about 10 irry sharks, and 10 pictus catfish, and two deat assorted angels. So i rescued them, and qt'ed them then stuck them in my 10 gallon livebearer tank, with the plans on getting a 29 later for these cute little guys. Then upon doing some research i find out these guys are NOT angels and in fact brackish/marine water Mono Sabea, a 30 dollar fish here in the states. So these guys got aclimated and put in the future multi tank due to increased salinity, and ph and alkalinty. These are probably just going to stay in here for a little bit until i can find a new place for them cuz when they grow they need like a 90 gallon full marine, and i don't want to invest that much money on them. Craziness!!!!
