My new tank

[madkitty737]

I agree! The rock is stunning and placement looks incredible. Very impressive! I can't believe you haven't done this before. That tank looks like a pro!

Very nice tank. I have a Juwel 180 being delivered tomorrow 1/3/07. You have given me some good ideas.

Thanks

That tank would make an amazing invert tank for several species of shrimp, crays (think blue electric and a bright red)...they'd really set up house peeping into all those holes....

But if you want fish...hehehe... I'd go with the mbuna too...

Thanks again for your comments (again, as a first-timer, encouragement is brilliant!). I've had a go at the plants - thinned out, moved inwards on each side, and zig-zagged a bit, so more asymmetrical

I read this article - sounds wonderful...tank too small ?

And so there are fish in now, but I don't have pics. Plus the little buggers havn't really settled in yet and are making extensive use of the rocks for cover.

Added two on Friday, one on Saturday, one on Sunday. That's it until I know everything's caught up with them. All feeding on tiny amounts except the last guy in yesterday but he looked in better form this morning.

Making some notes from that article in the link in my post above, I put in one aulonacara sp. O.B, one aulonacara uissiya, one yellow fin acei, and one yellow lab. All male and we'll keep an eye to see if anyone needs to go back.

and the yellow lab is a bit of a worry as per my thread in the Cichlid forum. I think he's got a shot though, just v. stressed by the move. Fingers crossed
