Little African Cichlid
African Cichlids are the most interesting tropical fish that you can keep in an aquarium. You can adore their beautiful coloration. African cichlids come from three lakes in Africa: Lake Victoria, Lake Tanginika and Lake Malawi. African cichlids are highly predatory and extremely territorial.

Cichlid fsh tank / open bottom
Simplified fish tank. Water pump, suction pump, air pump and all accessories are concealed within tank to reduce mass. Changing of water for top tank is not require. Massive cleaning is redused as cleaning is make simple. Submersible bilogical filter helps to maintain clear water. Air in top tank is to create water current. Partial change of water, removing of unwanted particle if require is carried out in the bottom tank that include feeding. Opening outlet at bottom of toptank allow fish to move from top to bottom without restriction. Waterfall in lower tank provide extra oxygenation. As this is a CLOSED SYSTEM air in top tank is automitically replenished to replace lost oxygen.
Taking away the stress of maintaining your aquarium will bring back the enjoyment that fish keeping once brought you. As you plunge deeper into it, you’ll derive not only knowledge, but lots of joy in discovering more about the things you are passionate about, be it creating a lush aquascape or a thriving coral reef.
With a proper system, you can spend more time enjoying your set up and less time worrying about maintenance.
But the greatest reward is that once your aquarium is up and running, you’ll be able to sit back without worrying about maintenance and enjoy the fascinating underwater world you’ve created, whenever you please.
It’s worthwhile to have a good filtration system, as maintaining a stable biological system is critical to your fishes’ good health
Set up your aquarium, wait for one to two weeks to cycle before you purchase any fish. It is important for the cycling process to be established before you add any fish to the aquarium.
Clean your aquarium every three weeks with partial change of water IF your tank is over crowded. Remove 25% of the water and top up with same amount. New developments in the aquarium industry have made it even easier than before to maintain an aquarium.
The open bottom concept is very suitable for those busy people who have no time at all to maintain their tank yet love to keep one at home.
ROLE OF BACTERIA IN THE NITROGEN CYCLE
Many different kinds of bacteria are present in our bodies and throughout the environment, including water. There are aerobic (good) bacteria, which require oxygen, and anaerobic (bad) bacteria, which do not require oxygen.
The bacteria in the aquarium will establish themselves on all the surfaces that are suitable for them to live on. These include the gravel, ornaments, tank walls and more importantly, the filter, where a majority of them will accumulate.
Aerobic bacteria need three things to survive: a habitat, food and oxygen. The filter contains a medium that provides a large surface area on which bacteria colonies can establish themselves. The water flowing through the filter provides them with good food and oxygen. Food is derived from the decaying organic material in the water column ( uneaten food, fish waste, decaying plant matter). And the movement of flowing water will permit gaseous exchanges to occur, and as a result, oxygen to be produced.
Normally, it takes the good bacteria approximately six to eight to be properly established before they can cope with a new aquarium’s bio-load.
The environment in a newly set-up aquarium is a sterile one. At this point, there simply any enough good bacteria to take on the bio-load. Therefore the amount of fish and food added to it should be limited, until adequate bacteria colonies are established.
The first bacteria that develop are the nitrosomonas, which are hardy and efficient. Once established, these bacteria ingest and break down ammonia into nitrite — this process occurs in the first stage of the nitrogen cycle. Ammonia, a by-product derived from the decomposition of the organic matter, is extremely toxic to fish. Its level will peak then decline, as the growing population of nitrosomonas feed on it.
In the next stage of the cycle, bacteria called nitrobacter will in turn ingest the nitrite and convert it into nitrate, which is the least toxic form of the three by-products. However, unlike nitrosomonas, nitrobacter are slower to develop and less hardy. As they are not as robust and easily affected by chemical treatments and changes in water quality.
In nature, plants and algae absorb nitrate for use in metabolic processes: but in an aquarium, it is almost impossible to have a large enough number of plants to absorb the entire nitrate in it. Therefore, the best way to remove nitrate and keep the environment stable is through regular PARTIAL water change.

Adolescent Beasts of Tropical Freshwater Aquaria
This is my Juwel Rio 400 in my student house, although this mixture of fish is not typical it is a useful experiment to see what can be achieved with adolescent boistrous fish a bit of space and extensive observation. I understand that this mixture is not ideal for certain species especially when considering expected growth rates and heightened competition for food and territory, so even though things are going well at the moment I know something larger will be neccisary in the next 6 months. Some of these fish I have been caring for a while whilst others were aquired through customers at work or specialist retailers.
The fish in this aquarium are;
1X Oscar (Astronotus ocellatus)
2X Green Terror (Aequidens rivulatus)
1X Madacascan Cichlid (Paratilapia polleni)
1X Red Shoulder Severum (Heros severus)
1X Purple Spotted Goby/Gudgeon (Mogurnda adspersa)
1X Puntius sp.
1X Black Shark (Labeo chrysophekadion)
3X Sun Catfish (Horabagrus brachysoma)
2X Plecostomus (Hypostomus plecostomus)
1X Gold Spot Plecostomus(L1)
1X Striped Talking Catfish (Platydoras costatus)
1X Pictus Catfish (Pimelodus pictus)
1X Sucking Loach (Gyrinocheilus aymonieri)
1X Blue Crayfish (Cherax quadricarinatus)
1X Yoyo Loach (Botia almorhae)
