Fish Room (with commentary)

We currently have 14 tanks of African Cichlids in this room for a total of 710 gallons of water. If you include rock, glass, wood, and iron, we have close to 4 tons of weight on our living room floor. We live in a manufactured home so to support the floors, we put jacks and support beams underneath the floor joists in the crawl space. As you can see, we love our fish. We used to keep other types of fish but now we stick to African Cichlids. We prefer this type because of their amazing color, hardiness, and personality.... not to mention they are easy to raise and breed. We sell these beautiful fish as part of our income. The money from the sales pays for the electricity to run all the filters, pumps, lights, and heaters as well as the food.
