New Mbuna tank! Pics!

[jeffro426]

Here it is, my new Mbuna tank! They seem to love their new home...This pic is after i switched out the background and rocks...i think the rainbow rock looks nicer that the other ones i had. The individual pics are before i changed everything out. Cant really tell by this pic, but theres 6 of those little guys in there somewhere. Im using a Whisper Triad 60(and soon to be Aquaclear 500) for filtration right now and a Penguin 1140 powerhead for circulation. They love to play with the powerhead, they try to beat the current and end up tumbling backwards. My wife said they played with it for almost 3 hours last night. As soon as christmas is over and i will have a little more money im probably going to upgrade the lights and put live plants in there. Ive never done live plants and am looking forward to experimenting with them. But i think its coming along nicely for now!

Nice setup. what cichlids do you have in there.
I know one of them is a Ps. crabro but I'm not sure about the others. They're all juvs?
Like the blue one though. He's really blue. :eek:

Hoq big is the tank? I would becareful when the Ps. crabro gets older as they are quite aggresive and get large.
