Your tank is 450 litres not gallons. Nice tank though. I love your light setup. Thats the same thing I want .Atleast it looks like it from the pic.

Hey staurt,,,Funny u mentioned moss balls,,,I bought one 2-3 weeks ago and they chewed it up to bits...just cleaned out all the pieces out of my filter,,plugged the tubes up!! I just tried algae/seaweed sheets (4 by 6") pinned up for them,,they enjoy that.

Hey staurt, I seen on utube some awesome "moba" fantosia. Blue/white. search under "courcarre" or "cichlid tank hand feed" Maybe an idea for ur new tank? Check them out.

OK THANKS I know the citter now,,paid dearly for him $40 Can. but a slow grower. He was one of the 1st ones. I added the new pic for the tank now in planted though with the mirrors,,,I followed ur lead and bought some java fern,,the anubius works well with cichlids too, I like your frontosas,,but scared to add him now with the aggression of the mbunas? Cheers, Mike

Hey Stuart,,good to here from you,,,which is the Tropheus Ikola u seen in my tank,,Not sure of all the spieces I have in there...Some were puchased out of mixed tanks. I'll post my tank soon with the mirror so u can check it out,,darm backgrounds are expensive here in Canada,,$180 x 2,,ufff,,maybe make my own Mike

Awesome tank Staut! I may go with ur style of background as well. How does the background attach to the tank? Only have 4 inches clearance behind. I just tried a full mirror background, not convinced if I'll keep yet but it sure does cause some termiol with the cichlids,,,lol Definately gets their aggression going a bit as mine are all males and all different breeds of Africans. Trade info when we can. Mike (jesterspub)
