Hi everyone! I have had Malawi cichlids for a few years now and really enjoy keeping them. I have a 30 gallon long tank with a 30-40 hanging filter. It's nothing big, but they seem to like it! I recently revamped my tank to give my lone Kenyi mix (I'm guessing!) ad pleco some new friends. I purchased 2 haps (simply listed as "assorted" so if anyone knows what they might be I'd appreciate it) and 3 clown loaches. I am considering adding 1 more cichlid, I just need to find the perfect one! I hope you enjoy the pictures and like my tank as much as I do!

Edit - P.S. The hap twins had some slight black, random spotting on them if that helps in a possible id! Thanks!

Hey Larry:

Welcome to ECC!

thanks for posting the pictures of your tank.

I confess, clown loaches are one of my favorite fishes.

Feel feel to add you comments to all our crazy posts, we're like a big family so we welcome everyone's input. ;)

I love the clowns! It is fun to watch them swim everywhere. Mine seem to love "riding the bubbles"! Thanks for the warm welcomes. I'm excited to be here, to hopefully learn lots, and maybe one day help some others out!

Hi Kat, Welcome to the Group. ALWAYS good to see another Cichlid hobbyist. Enjoy yourself here (I know you will), and keep up the good work maintaining your fish. You may want to have a Hap TRIO (?) -- as your third ("perfect one") addition ! Ray

Woo hoo! Looks like I actually have a Metriaclima zebra-type and two strawberry dragonbloody ob (without much B!) peacocks! Any new suggestion on a fourth and final fish? :)
