Bubbles! Bubblesbubblesbubblesbubblesbubblesbubblesbubbles! That whole rock background is foam? That's brilliant, looks really great.
Eventually I hope to do a cichlid tank very much like yours, again, very nice.

as for aggresion. my tank is a very peacceful tank. i never see any aggression at all. no chasing no lip locking nothing, but as you say i will monitor it.

cheers jake

All of your fish are still very young, I forsee many issues with aggression in the near future as Mark7616 has already said.

but as far as the aquascaping of your system.... I LOVE IT!!!! I cant wait to see all the rock with algae on it for the Mbuna to nibble. It will glisten!!! great job!!

lol... when u were in the tank(not literally) it was a whole new world.. u came out of it and a different world.. LOL.. very neat...

 

[cuprajake]

yeah most of them are still young, i plan on thinning them out in the future as they get bigger i will wait to see which fish are my favorites and which are little buggers.

dont forget though now of these are wild fish, there f1 or down. so you never know what will happen,

well here are a few pics from lastnight and the tank but first, my little horro story with a twist,

when i went to pick up the tanks, the lfs lad said they never dropped off the lids, i said id take the tank and pick the lids up at a later date, so i built all my shelving places the tanks and got them running, put the lombardi and lab in from the tank, also put some ocean rock in with the lombardi as she spat, then i lay in wait for the other holding lab, finally caught her at about 11 lol, so in she went too.
came down this morning and i had a fish missing, i was gutted, so onto my hands and knee's, she'd jumped down the bakc and was sort of stuck to the wall,

i gently lifted her up by the tail and her mouth was open, i tried to look in for any babie but dint see anything, so i dipped her head in the water and flapped her gills to see if any babies mint pop onu, then splash, i crap my pants and she springs into life again. she had a few paniked seconds while she regained herself. but she seems ok now, and looks as if she is still holding-amazingly, needless to say i have made some tempory covers for them now.

just glad she's ok

here's the pics:

i have added a few plants that are real none have been nipped at yet, but we'l see what happens, i will keep an eye on them to see if they cause any blooms or rot lol

Looking wonder Jake, everyone is growing and coloring up nicely. How's everyone getting along?

Glad to hear your female made it, she must have jumped shortly before you found her. Would have scared the crap out of me.

 

[I Love my fishies]

Fantastic tank scape I love the addition of the plants .. the vid was great fish are sooo cute when they play in bubbles.

 

[cuprajake]

thanks guys, the tanks coming along nicely, i checked all my stats at weekend, everything was bang on, the only aggression i got was a mini breeding frenzy with my fish, the two kingsiezi were fighting for dominance lol

the back ground-is made from filter material, so acts as a biological filter when settled in, the filter is from gordon riggs in rochdale lancs, and i was there the other day and they had one in stock for those in lancs lol

As everyone has said before the tanks looks awsome, some people can have a vision and just replicate it, others like me cant do it for peanuts lol, and keep changing it.

thank you very much, i added the plants to gove a bit of something to the tank, but the jave has been eaten a bit, haha i have kept an eye on phoshates, there under 5ppm, just to keep the algea in check, i dont really give the plants enough light, at only 6 hrs a day with one 35w tube, its only getting a lowly 0.7wpg so i may in the end get artificial silk plants, but i'll see how it goes, i went to chester zoo a week back and they have some lovely tanks, esp there discus setup. here are a few of them:

i loved my planted tank, i really did-but it was so labour intensive with the co2 injection lol i ended up cutting plants down every week lol

thins was my old set-up:

cool I wish there were aquariums and things like that up here, closest one is deep sea world about 2 hrs away. look at all the cichlids in that tank.

your old tank looks mint as well, you obviously got the knack.
