That is very nice. Great setup

Very nice looking although I wouldnt really call it mbuna (as that sturs up images of loads of rock and no/very little plants)...Still, lovely cichlid community

May sound a little crazy but,I have had this tank running for about 4 years and I just got it the way I want it 1 month ago! lol I have wen't through different looks and things.And now I am actually happy with it. I didn't want the same look everyone else had with just rocks.I wanted to have a more natural feel,I want to try real plants but,last time I tired that they ate them. soo,this is about as natural as I can get,Without over doing it. And thank you!

Technically, a natural Malawi tank would be rocky, not planted.
