Hello from Ephrata

Hi All:

Just heard of your forum so looking forward to spending some time here and getting to know a few "locals" so to speak. I currently have a few (10) tanks running. Most are cichlids with the majority being from Lake Malawi and currently one Victorian. I also have a saltwater FOWLR tank, a fry tank, a hospital tank, a tropical community tank, and a betta tank.

Species I'm getting to know in my tanks include:

Cynotilapia afra (Nkhata Bay)
Metriaclima zebra Gold (WC)
Pseudotropheus cyaneorhabdos
Pseudotropheus polit
Paralabidochromis chromogynos

Electric Green Tetra
Roseline Shark (Denisons Barb)
Orange Von Rio Tetra

Synodontis lucipinnis ''Dwarf Petricola''

some hybrib hap/peacocks and a few miscellaneous cichlids that keep the extra tanks cycled

Anyway, thanks for having me and I look forward to meeting a few of you

Hah...I do have a saltwater tank but I claim to know nothing about it...LOL...my clarkii clownfish pair are surviving despite my poor tank management... Really, the saltwater is supposed to be my husbands tank. I just bought our first mushrooms for it so we will have to see how THAT goes. We've done pretty well with the only loss being an urchin that we added without knowing what the heck we were doing.

Bassetman... its a deal. We would love to come visit and see your tanks. I think Pomeroy is only a couple of hours from us. Saturdays are almost always out for us as we have our granddaughters that day but Sundays are good. I will PM you to set up a date as my husband and I would really would love to see your fish.

And again, thank you everyone for the warm welcome.
