My Current Aquaria

At the moment I've only got the remnants of my old community aquarium in a five and a half gallon aquarium along with a small group of Lake Malawi cichlid, which I actually left at home in a fifteen gallon tub. Last year my five gallon aquarium was pretty sharp, but I ended out losing my school of red-eye tetra. (Everything was fine when I left for the weekend, then I came back to the aquarium being completely off color and smelling horrible. I hate to blame him, but I'm pretty sure my roommate or one of his friends must have drunkenly dumped something into it...) I did however buy a couple of platy to replace the tetra, so the tank is decently stocked for the moment.

I really didn't do my homework with the cichlid, as I neglected to be patient and do better research on individual species. I think I can make the current set of fish work, but I need to get a bigger aquarium together yet.

Once I free up the filter I'm using for the cichlids I'll have three ten gallon aquariums to raise my killifish if needed. I'll be keeping two of the aquariums at my apartment, though I'll design a stand to hold four so I can set up more as I go...
