    My name is SyncereOne, Syn for short, and I am a fishkeeper, not a fish haver from Chesterfield Virginia. As of right now, the only tanks I have is a 55G and a 75G, and now in my fish keeping career I am into South American Cichlids. In the 55G I have a small Flowerhorn, and in the 75G I have 1 8" JD, 2 5" FM's, 1 platinum convict and one fish which I purchased as a electric blue convict(hybrid) but it looking more and more like a HRP. Here is a picture of my 75G tank.

    My decor tastes are towards the more natural looks, as you can see from my tanks, I prefer driftwood, lacerock, and river rock or sand substrates. I have raised many fish over the past 10 years, including most community fish including Angels and tetras, cories, SAE's, and I had a short stint in Discus. Right now I love the simplicity of SA cichlids.

    Thanks!
