Stavros'
biggest show tank. With a water volume of 750 liter it is the
flagship of his tanks and currently houses cichlids from lake
Tanganyika (the photo shows this tank as it was in the past with
fancy goldfish; new pictures are on their way. Visit Abyss
(Stavros' website) for more photos and info. Stavros is one of the
very few aquarists with whom I have actually met in person. |

Stavros'
80 liter tank and, yes, it is the home of more African cichlids,
only this time from the "correct" Lake (Malawi). |

Stavros'
discus tank. The tank measures a generous 130X40X60 cm (gross
capacity 240 liters) and houses Discus and tetras. Water parameters:
26 C, pH=5.8, KH=3 and GH=3. Everything by the book. Nice plants add
to the presentation. |

Stavros'
Mixed African tank. Fish from the African Lakes in a tank measuring
140x40x50 cm (a gross capacity of 180 liters). The detailed
aquascape should be noted. It is interesting to note that, like
Patrizia (our co-author), this professional has kept much of the
hobbyist inside him. Although his tanks are primarily meant to
attract buyers, still he doesn't hesitate to add rocks and plants to
make his fish more comfortable, although he knows that this will
give him a hard time when trying to net them. |
