A pet rock collection, that had lots of baby rocks?
ahck, get something to cover up the back of the glass. Looking through the tank to the wall is, well, ugly.
I'm guessing with a tank that size you've got some african chiclids? Details man we need details.

I take it you meant cichlids and not chiclids?lol This tank is way to big for tiny lake Malawi cichlids. Most old world's can live in a 12" wide 55g. for life seeing most reach 6 inches or so. The tank pictured is 25" wide and 61" long 166g.
The tank was bought ($2000.00) for my prize 6 year old Ornate bichir a giant predator close to 20". Well he managed to jump out one night and like a snakehead they can breath air and crawl on land. Like all fish though he soon dried out and died. I found him the next day, placed him in my freezer for the taxidermist.
The new residents are a pair of breeding Turquoise Severum (Heros appendiculatus) pair of Nicaraguensis, pair of Ctenopoma, flower fresh water stingray and a Delhezi bichir.
My other tank is a Oceanic 75g, heavily planted with breeding Gachuas.
Yeah my 3D background should be in soon.

Nice fish btw.

Yikes I'd have never guessed the tank was that big from the picture, you really can't tell that it's 25" wide!!! It does look like a fun tank to have though. I've been searching for a used tank in the 50+ gallon range to put cichlids in (not chiclids) For now I've got the one in the picture below, it's only about 30 gallons with cherry and tiger barbs, a gourami (which is the only fish you can see clearly in the pic,) some corys and a couple of oddball sharks my wife procured that I've yet to identify. I've also got a 35ish gallon tank that I want to put some kribs in but I need to save up another $35 for a new heater. Fish are cool petsGunther said:

hehe, one time at boarding school, there was this ass hole kid who had some fish in his dorm room. Then this ass hole peed in this other kids bed! 
, so we decided to get revenge for the recipiant off the pee, and put listerene in the fish tank, the fish were dead in 2 hours.... 
turns out they cost like 60 bucks each and there were like 10 of them, too bad...
shouldnt of peed in the guys bed in the first place.

Me and my bro had a Green Terror, a Pike, and a one other I forget the name of back in our college dorm. One night we had about 20 people in our dorm room drinkin' and smokin'. We needed ventilation so my bro went to get the fan from the top of his closet, bumped the stereo speaker and boom, onto the fish tank. We had about an inch of water and a bunch of tiny gravel bits all over the floor. We managed to save two of the fish and sell them back to the store but, man that sucked. It was so relaxing to sit there at night puffin' and watchin' the fish.
I was always fond of Red Tiger Oscars. They are like little dogs that dont leave hair on your toungue when ya lick them!
