Because I have become so enamored with the custom ~34g I ordered in August 2025, I decided to get another one. I ordered it this week from Glasscages. You can read more about that tank here.

As true fish rooms go, mine is pretty tame. Rather, what I should probably say is that it’s not a real “fish room,” in the conventional hobbyist sense. It’s more of a finished basement with some tanks in it. Anyway, I now have two of the custom tanks up and running.

Back in 2015, I posted about the benefits of keeping dwarf cichlids. Of course, one of those benefits is that dwarves don’t require large tanks. So I thought I would post about why you should consider smaller aquariums.
