Male Peacock;

Female Peacock;

One of the N. brichardi;

One of an older N. brichardi fry;

And a couple of the younger N. brichardi fry;

Like your brichardi looks like n. Pulcher from your picks, princess of the lake lovely fish I have one any more and I would have trouble in my tank, would love a colony though fry look cool great job!

It currently houses:
2 yellow labs
1 sunburst peacock
1 OB peacock
1 red tailed shark
1 acei
1 taiwan reef hap
1 red peacock (he's not red yet)

Nice tank! But just for the record... You have a rainbow shark... Not a red tail. Red tails only have red tails rainbows have the red fins along with red tails.

I definitely don't have the best or coolest tank, but it's cool to me!

I don't know if your aware but you have two Victorians in there. The ones with the red/orange sides

how big is your tank

[giggalz]

55

[cichlidpaul]

Is that 55 gallon

[giggalz]

yes

[cichlidpaul]

Wow the pics make it look smaller than that , nice tank though watch your ph with the driftwood as it might drop it to low

[giggalz]

yeah in person the new setup makes it look huge..the hex makes it look smaller..thanks about the ph thing..it was one thing i was worried about

[cichlidpaul]

I would keep an eye on it , is that just white sand you have if so i would add some crushed coral if it starts to drop

[giggalz]

sand..it had stuff in it..to help cycle the tank

[cichlidpaul]

Dont think that will help your ph much so if it does start to drop crushed coral will be the way to go thats what i have do to get mine back up from my fishless cycle here you go take a look

i put mine straight over my alpine gravel

[giggalz]

awesome..i like it!

[cichlidpaul]

Thanks it took me 8/9 weeks to cycle though as its so big lol

[cichlidpaul]

Anyway if you need to get your ph up thats what to do and you could add some to your filter if you have room

[giggalz]

cool thanks..might be a thought to add not sure...

[cichlidpaul]

your fish need a hight ph so if it drop you may have too and its much better than say ph up liquid as its just a short time fix
