Thanks! I've seen a couple others with driftwood too. I have it in there because there is a BN in there plus I have some acei coming & they will appreciate it.


Plants arrived! I have 10 anubias plants that are in a holding tank while I test a couple in the Mbuna tank & the java ferns need to be weighted down since they don't have a lot of roots to shove in the cracks. So it might be a little while before plant pictures. Fish should be here soon!!!

Thank you fellow wood keepers! :)

So I got 3 freebies...1 albino socolofi, 1 rusty & 1 Mel. cyaneorhabdos. Excellent quality & seem very healthy. I was a little concerned because the minute I opened the box it smelt like dead fish.... :confused: Everyone was intact though.

I took many random pictures just to see if I could by chance get a couple decent ones, I will try to get better ones later. They came out pretty dark too but that might be because I was using the Sport setting (motion shots). I do have more like these but these seem to be the clearest shots.









I one with the flash on shows their actual colors but in my lighting they look a little different. The orange really stands out on the rustys fins, same with the light blue of the M. Cyaneorhabdos & the acei look like a dark purple. I am super pleased! It has been a great day! :dance:

I have to agree, I was quite surprised by how great the rustys are! I can't wait to see em grow up.

The only mbuna left to get now is my OB red zebras, then I need some other bottom dweller/scavengers. :dance:

ooo, such colors :D
:D All the colors go together really well, seeing all the fish in the tank opposed to pictures online makes a HUGE difference!

did you order the OB reds as well..
The OBs are coming from M.Boona, a fellow Aquaria Central member, which is where I also bought my yellow labs. I am waiting for them to grow up just a little more.

Thanks. So far I am very pleased with the 5.5, I should be moving my betta over into it soon.


Well I just tested the tank, 14 hours along, and everything is A-OK. Ph-8.1, NH3-0, NO2-0, NO3-20. Let's hope it remains this way!
