Fish
I have kept tropical fish for about 7 years now. I started out as most of us do with a fairly standard 'community' tank full of guppies and swordtails etc, but now I keep Oscars and African Cichlids.

These pics are of my original community set-up. The tank is 140 Litres (39 gallons) one with an Eheim 2213 external cannister filter.
After a year or two I caught the Oscar bug, and traded all my boring fish in on some baby Oscars. These pictures show my first lot of Oscars.
When I moved out of my parents' house I had room for a bigger tank. This is a 285 Litre (75gallon) tank, which now houses 2 oscars (one tiger and one albino) and a breeding pair of Bristlenoses.
These pics are taken right after feeding time. Each Oscar has about 4 goldfish crammed in his mouth, and they are wallowing around the tank slowly. I guess they feel just like you do after a huge Christmas dinner!
The following pictures are of my original small tank as seen today. The new inhabitants are African Cichlids. They are a pair of Lombardi's, a pair of Red-topped Zebra's, and a pair of Electric Yellows. There is also a breeding pair of Bristlenoses in this tank too. I have had great luck with all these fish and the tank also houses many fry from all species.

Originally, before keeping fish, I used the fish tank to house 2 Green Tree frogs. The set-up was 'most tranquil' with a land section and a water section. The Eheim 2213 filter used to dump the water over a few rocks to create a waterfall back into the tank. These pictures may be of poor quality but I think you will still get the message.
