Malawi 40 gal. long

Updated pic, as I re-scaped it a bit yesterday. And yeah, I photoshopped out the two filter intakes as they look more intrusive in the photos as opposed to how they actually look. And it makes the photo look better, lol.

Thanks for looking (again).
 
sharp looking tank - and some really classy fish in there too.

how are you finding the aggression between the peacocks ? (I seem to recall you had a bit of a bully)

again, I might add some more rocks, and make a couple of piles; not so much to interfere with the swim patterns of the aulonocara (which are somewhat more open space fish, but not to be compared with the deepwater haps), but to delineate the tank - they will use the decor as landmarks, and claim less tank if their is more definition in the decor.

again, very sharp tank, and beautiful fish.
 
The aggression amongst the peacocks has been alleviated dramatically. When the Lethrinops rose to power, it all evened out (as opposed to the German Red who was power-hungry and a bully). The Lethrinops is really laid back for being the dominant fish and thus all of the peacocks are getting along extremely well, markedly better than a few weeks back.

Thanks for the comments.
 
Very nice I was gonna say it looks like a 55 to me lol. My PFS is nice and white like that but after about a week it starts getting a light tan color. A good weekly stir gets it back to nice bright white. Are those mexican black rocks?

Yeah, I've encountered the same thing with my PFS and I stir it once every few days as well. However, it's really cool when the lights are turned off and I can see the little circular indents that the peacocks make when they dive their mouths into the sand throughout the day.

And yup, they're black mexican beach pebbles varying from 3 inches to 5 inches.
