[AquaticLife] hi new here
Hi Lisa, I have to agree with Steve on the Crawfish,(crayfish, crawdad, or yabbie). A friend at work recently got a large aquarium and was gifted two crayfish. When they put a dozen small fish in the tank with them one of the crays got a hold of a danio and had eaten the head in about 10 minutes time. I think crays are great and had a couple Australian blue yabbies. Beautiful, but the large one ate the smaller one. Then the larger one managed to crawl out a couple months later and got a little on the dry side. He lived about a week after I returned him to the water. We used to catch crays from our local creeks, streets, and drainage ditches here in Northern California. Tasty 
When you go shopping for Cichlids make sure you find out how large they are going to be when they grow to adult size, that is if they are young when you purchase them. I think Lenny has a website with stocking suggestions by tank size. Perhaps he has already jumped in to share that. -Mike In a message dated 6/15/2008 9:54:50 P.M.

i have no idea which ciclids i want yet.
well i was thinking of noraml everyday aquarium fish, not native maine fish.
well i collected a crawdad for one of my moms tanks and he was very helpful, and when he got too big i let him (it) go, and got another. they are easy to find here. i have always had good luck keeping them, and as long as they are well fed, they do fine… i liked the post that i just read about gluing rocks together to make out-croppings for the fish, i’ll have to do that..
thanks for helping
