Cichlids
Puffers
Datnioides <---awesome fish! just huge PIAs to switch off of frozen food. I have them in with my cichlids

I think i have like 20 fish tanks now...about half of them are 4ft long or bigger (biggest is 7ft long)

I have 2 of those haha!
Puffers & Datnoids!

Congratz on your fahaka Shaner

Cichlids and Puffer here. I totally agree on the addiction.
That's a lot of tanks guys, I couldn't manage 4, let alone 20 or so.

The most tanks we had running at one time was 7 - but there's two of us to keep up on maintenance!
So it wasn't too bad.

I've had many cichlids in my day. Right now I've got a tank full of discus & a big male Frontosa with a nice head bump.

I love Frontosas. If I had the time and money I'd have a colony of Frontosas, Tropheus and a Mbu or Fahaka. To be honest, I have the time, not the money and my man would freak.

Inherited him from a friend who said it killed his pleco. He lives with my fahaka.

i have convicts, love them had to seperate them thou, they are typical cons, naughty and bad, i use the fry for feeding my leaf fish, but yeah lots of tanks, but hey, we have no kids no real comitments, we own our house so nothing to worry about there and we have well water which is some of the best water in wausau to actually have fish, it is almost perfect water, 7 ph, med hardness, low nitrates, no ammonia, perfect, i dont even soften it, so keeping up with the tanks is not so bad, just have to be organized i guess,

could be worse, a person could be into other things that are more dangerous for you and cost a lot more, but i like skydiving too........hemm yeah it is an addiction......
