Cant believe I haven't noticed this thread before....

Quality tank there mate I cant wait to see how it looks once the fish are fully grown, those labs looking like cracking examples, 2 of mine look crossed somehow. And your afra's are sweet too, think I may have to swap some fish at the lfs lol.

What else are you planning to put in?

a little late in replying but thanks


havent updated this for a while now.
the fish are growing and i have just seen to little fry swimming about under the rocks. ive only seem 2 at one time. i had no idea about them until my sister called me in saying theres a baby fish, didnt see any fish holding but there is alot of hiding space's so will have to see what the are when they grow up. i have a feeling there afra's due to the slight blue tint to them

the rocks are now coverd in algea and i never though i would say it but it looks 10x better with algea.

i havent sent alot of time on it recently due to being really busy. (this is the first day i have been free for about 3+ months.) ive just been able to keep up with the water changes. but will give the tank a good scrub tommorow and will try and take a few pics for you all.

I'm sorry to hear that. sad.gif I just had to sell my mbuna tank (in fact the guy is picking up today), since I'm moving out of state. Don't worry, you'll set another on up eventually, can't keep a good mbuna keeper down for long. biggrin.gif

glad you found a buyer! i hope i dont have to split it up. fair bit of time went into it but doubt people will pay much for a tank with fish and i hope they would look after them as wll as i did etc. good lcu k on the move and hope you have me luck than me trying to find room for the 'new' tank
