Eventually plan on eliminating 50% of the rock work n replaacing it with driftwood n live plants like the ones on the left, just added them last night and the fish LOVE hiding and swimming thru them.

Nice tank I can see that all being wood. It will look even better imo

Very nice!

Looks great. Definantly add more plants and driftwood. That would look great.

 

[ff.rice]

Very nice!!!! Where's the best place to get driftwood? Is it purchased? Or acquired? And is there any special cleaning that needs to be done to it?

When did you add the Bamboo in?

 

[jbudda13]

Just added the bamboo yesterday from the same place I get all my fish n driftwood. I have a small independent fish store that only deals with African cichlids its a real gem to have nearby, driftwood is tank ready he has most of it shipped straight from the amazon

Tank looks great! What cichlids do you have? Hard to tell from the pic

The tank looks great! but I must warn you. Bamboo is not a truly aquatic plant. The stems do fine submerged but the leaves will most certainly die off and can cause the potential for algae. If there is a way to raise the leaves out of the water, I would suggest that.

Oh yea also have a nice male buccochromis nototaenia that's starting to color up

That female is realllly nice! Can't imagine what the males look like. Yeah the reason why I asked is because I can't find them on google. I must be typing it in wrong. But I spelled it like u did

Not a problem! Great looking plants, a shame they sell them as aquatic plants

 

[jbudda13]

Rjv0123 type in exochromis anageny that should work
