experienced hobbyist in keeping fish
I have my own way of keeping fish. My philosophy is low maintenance.

used to keep only tanganykan cichlids for 15 years hobby.
for some reason the supply of tanganykan cichlids just disappeared a few years ago in
silicon valley. Cannot find frontosa, brevis, and other aggressive species anymore.

So about 4 years ago I switched to salt water.

I have a 30 gallons tank.
Starting the hobby I tried all kinds of fish, lost by death or swap back (peacock mantis shrimp) to dealer, but now
I found a stable collection:
I prefer on semi-aggressive or aggressive species, but will try peaceful
largest fish is only 2 inches
