My 5ft Cichlid tank

[Jndglover2111]

G'day everyone,
Seems like ages since I have been on this site and I thought it is about time that I showed you a pic of my display tank. I will post more pics as soon as I learn how to take a really good picture and do my fish some justice. Any way enjoy

Hi Glover your tank looks really nice

 

[Aiden]

Nice tank! Any chance of some more pics? it would be great to see a few close ups, your tank's that big it's hard to see what you've got swimming around in there!

Thanks everyone for all your great comments. My tank has undergone a few slight changes since I posted my last photos, and I would like to show you some updated pics. Hope you all enjoy

The large rock is lava rock. It has heaps of little holes and tunnels in it and the fish love it

Thank you, I saw all the holes which is why I asked.
Lava rock is farely lite isn't it?

 

[Aiden]

Including that ocean rock has worked really well with the lava rock, I might have to copy that!

Have you had any problems with you fish ripping your plants apart?

 

[Jndglover2111]

No, I've been really lucky where that is concerned. I have been expecting them to rip the plants out, but so far they have left them alone (touch wood)
