Welcome to Texas... and the Box.

Welcome!

What kind of cichlids are you going to get?

[ScorpiosWife]

Welcome to the support/enabling group for your oncoming addiction, more lovingly known as "The Box". Lots of great folks on here. Also, welcome to Tomball where it's not out of the ordinary to see a farmer drive his tractor down Main Street.

Welcome to the Box. Crazy!

we judge anywhere North of Corsicana,

You probably have no idea where Corsicana is. Any one north of Dallas...

Not many of us Real Texans left...But We respect that you chose to get here as fast as you could...

Welcome to Texas!

Welcome to the box!!!!

So besides having to goto work today and well...work. I bought some Holey Rock. I've come to the conclusion my fish tank is still cycling, so I am holding off for a couple weeks before I add cichlids. The breeds I think look nice, and I am beginning to research are as follows:

Kenyi
Yellow Tail Acei
Peacocks
Lohachata Loaches
And maybe Sexifaciatus's

I have also added pictures of my tank with the new rocks. If you compare it to the first image to this one, I hope you see an improvement. Still trying to figure out where to place the fake plants. So today I added two new rocks, and completed a water change. Wish it would cycle faster. :)

Tomball isn't the only area with farmers driving their tractors down a major street. 44 Acres Homes! We got pig farms, ranches, and plenty of tractors driving up and down S. Victory (our version of Main Street)

I have several filter pads with lots of bacteria that I would be willing to give you for free. You just gotta drive over here (77088) to pick them up.

I can give you some blue filter pad material from my Oscar tank. Toss it in, wait a couple hours, test the water & you're done! Let me know cuz I'm gonna change it out this week.
