Freshwater Cichilds

Cichlids are fishes from the family Cichlidae in the order Perciformes. Cichlids are members of a group known as the Labroidei along with the wrasses Labridae, damselfish Pomacentridae, and surfperches Embiotocidae.



This family is both large and diverse. At least 1,300 species have been scientifically described, making it one of the largest vertebrate families.



New species are discovered annually, and many species remain undescribed. The actual number of species is therefore unknown, with estimates varying between 1,300 and 3,000.

DISCUS FISH high tank WHY NEED A HIGH TANK ?

High fish tank for discus. (H)117cm (L)61cm (W)38cm. Water volume: Top tank 271 litres / bottom tank 106 litres. The open bottom design allow fish to move from top to bottom tank without restriction.

This tank is built due to breeder prefer very deep water depth ...... as they believe that the depth of water is important for the growth of high bodies. The high water depth theory is actually being practised by a lot of Hong Kong breeders and it is a small wonder that we see HK's discus having extremely high body.

With bigger volume of water chances of water getting foul is much lower. The amnonia level will definitely increase to a higher concentration rapidly with a smaller volume of water.

Massive cleaning is reduced and cleaning is also make simple. The submersible biological filter in used can be easily washed and taken out through the opening outlet at the bottom of the tank. Partial change of water, removing unwanted particles or placing of rocks / plants if require is carried out in the lower tank that include feeding.

SETTING UP AN AQUARIUM

Many of the elements in an aquarium, like the water, rocks, substrate and filtration systems, may consist of living matter like bacterial and algae, or chemical compounds which undergo biological processes and produce by-products that may either harm or benefit your fish.
Therefore, whatever you decide to use in your aquarium setup will have a bearing on how livable the habitat you've created for your fish will be, and consequently how happy or miserable they will be.
Before you go about acquiring items for your aquarium, consider their intended purposes, their suitability for your setup and the possible impact they might have on the aquarium's ecosystem.
The general rule is that the bigger is better. The bigger tank holds a greater volume of water and provides more living space for your fish. But what's is important is that in the event of any deterioration in the water parameters, the resulting impact will be more dilute and there is a better chance of detecting problems that may follow. LOOK A tall, narrow tank looks more dramatic. But, cleaning it if this tank is upright with rocks and plant at the bottom is a problem.

So the tall and narrow OPEN BOTTOM tank will make removing of dirt and cleaning more easily through the opening outlet.

New Vid of Monster Fish Tank taken on Feb 2007

The owner already has spoken...

This tank with all the inhabitants that you see have been survived for more than 2 years. Ammonia has always been zero even after each feeding. Nitrate levels do not shoot above 100ppm as I have denitrators and weekly WC of 50%. My filtration for the setup is of no issue at all. And till date, there has never been any casualties due to filtration issues.
