Hey guys thought i'd show you a few pics of my tank now i've moved things about slightly and also would like to show you pics of how my fishies are doing :)

Well the tanks going great since I got rid of the Malawis and decided to stick just with Tanganikyans and it gives me a better opportunity to do more 'aqua scaping' with rocks/caves/etc as you'll see below.

Here is a pic of about 2 weeks ago, when i Decided to add some strange yet attractive Red/Orange rock (not sure of the name)-

Anyway I decided I didn't like the rock after a while as it 'stuck out' a bit too much from the rest of the rocks/slate and besides that wasted a lot of space. So here's my improved design, it's sort of back to how it was before the red rock with a few adjustments... i.e Legdes extending out from the left and right of the cave wall.

The Tank

Neolamprologus Brichardi (2 Juveniles who again have grown a lot)

With this fish I was wandering if anyone in the 'know' could help, one of the pair is much broader and 'fuller' than the other in terms of body shape could this be a male and female pair? See if yu can help from the pics below, apologies for the quality...

The Skinnier of the pair-

Excellent pictures and set-up, very nice. Like the rock work and overall look of the tank, me personally i would not have the plants, but thats just personal taste.

A pleasure to view this :good:


And i agree with you about the orange rock at the top, i don't like that either, prefer the set-up with out it
