Fish tomorrow!
I am excited! After finally settling in somewhat here in Cali, I am going to set up my first fish tank in our new home tomorrow. (I already set it up; I am buying fish tmrw.) I had kept everything from Oscars to Pike to goldfish and koi back in NY.
I am starting out small, for budget and space constraints. Just a few coldwaters; goldfish, I am thinking. I miss watching my fish, and hearing the filter (it's a sound that used to help put me to sleep at night.)
Just a little 10 gallon; again, nothing fancy. But I am still excited! Of course I will post pics when things are set.

Re: Fish tomorrow!
Im a little confused.You were going to get goldfish a coldwater species but have opted for warm water fish, do you have a heater in there? Also your tank looks vey coludy are you sure its cycled the whole way?
As for them being ok in a small tank, I find even the smallest cichlids get stressed in short tanks. It would defo be a good idea to go long for over your mantle, where you will be able to buy more and make them feel more comortable. They are lovely looking fish, even more so in a group.

i agree, also two cichlids need a 45g min tank but preferably bigger. they are fairly agressive fish prefer being in groups a 1.3 ratio to sort out agression.
