My 55g Malawi Cichlid Tank

[oo7genie]

Just finished stocking my new 55g Lake Malawi Cichlid tank the other day, and decided it was time for a quick photo shoot. Thought I'd share the pics for your enjoyment!

Occupants of old 29g: 1 Pseudotropheus lombardoi "Kenyi" (female), 1 Melanochromis auratus "Golden Mbuna" (female), 1 Melanochromis cyaneorhabdo "Maingano", 1 Pseudotropheus Acei "Acei", 1 Metriaclima estherae "Red Zebra", 1 Panaque maccus "Clown Pleco"

Newcomers to 55g: 2 Metriaclima zebra "Albino Zebra", 2 Labeotropheus trewavasae (OB females), 4 Cynotilapia afra "Dogtooth Cichlid" (1 male, 3 females)

Comments & Criticisms are always welcome!

Very nice looking tank! That afra is gorgeous.

Nice looking set up!

Thanks very much.

By the way, the Afra is still very young and not as colorful as he appears, the camera flash brought out most of the colors you see in the photo. But it definitely got me excited about seeing him grow and color up over time!

I just lost my female auratus...she was 4" long nice fish, again.

That's too bad, I'm sorry to hear that. How old was she?

Your fish and photos are inspiring. I hope I can set up a dwarf cichlid tank someday.
Those afra's are indeed gorgeous!
