Hi, friends!
It has been a long time since I showed you this tank the last time I did it. Then, here you have an update!
I bought and stocked this tank with Malawi mbunas, on July of 2008. To decorate it and to stock it, a few great friends like Pittbull helped me a lot. Since then, its setup has changed just a little bit...good things should not change!
At present, the living stock in it are the following 19 mbunas:
5 Labidochromis caeruleus (yellow labs)
5 Iodotropheus sprengerae (rusty cichlids)
4 Melanochromis cyaneorhabdos (electric blue johannis)
3 Pseudotropheus acei (yellow tail aceis)
2 Labeotropheus fuelleborni
Now, some pics of the tank and its residents. I have to remind you that I have not the camera nor the great skills of Pittbull or Razzo, but I hope you like my pics:

Thanks Pitt and Rbishop. Pitt you are right, some of them look a little bit thin; I don't know why... they eat like pigs.

Thanks, bro! You know, at the very beginning, I lost a few mbunas due to bloat. Trying to avoid that, I cut the meals from 2 to 1 daily. I stopped the bloat since then... maybe I should return to give them 2 daily meals.
