Agreed!!!

New arrivals from The Cichlid Shack. I was there today and picked up these guys. Blue-Gold Lemon Jake Blue Orchid Blue Dolphin (Son's Bday present)

The Cichlid Shack- Arizona Wet Spot Tropical- Oregon Live Fish Direct- Utah I personally buy from The Cichlid Shack. Great quality fish and customer service from James Largo is outstanding. Have heard good things from the other 2. I have slate in my 125. I cut bottoms out of crates underneath...

I will just name them all. Haha 1st- Super Red Impress (Hap) 2nd- Eureka Red Jake, and Dragonblood (Peacocks) 3rd- German Red (Peacock) 4th- Red Top Lwanda (Peacock)

Which picture?

You can have multiples of the same species as long as no females are around. And don't mix with females because their tends to be cross breeding and IMO, I would prefer to keep the genes of the species as strong as possible. I just chose to have a variety of males. I am working on breeding a few...

I have an all male hap and peacock 125 show tank. I have heard yellow labs are one of the most compatible Mbuna to go with haps and peacocks but haven't tried it. I would stick to either all Mbuna or hap and peacock. I have the following: 1- Ruby Red 1- German Red 1- Eureka Red 1- Star...

The main LFS will only take them as donations unfortunately. But we have no kind of actual LFS where I live. I would eventually like to give other people access on caring for these beauties in our town but that is a long process so we will see. Until then I have a 65 gal community but I'm going...

It is a 125 gal. This is my show tank. I will begin to introduce females in different tanks. I don't want to deal with or create hybrids and want keep the strains as strong as possible with what I currently have. The guy I get them from is awesome and he has females available when I am ready...

About 3 months has finally paid off and can finally enjoy a well established tank with these guys. Can't thank the guy enough for these absolute beauties!

Hey Everyone! I have my 125 up and running now. Planted African Cichlid Tank. I am having an issue with high nitrates. Our water is very hard where I live. In the tap water it ranges up to about 40 ppm. I use my RO system to fill with water changes but that still is consistently between 10-20...

Yellow tail acei, yellow labs (electric yellows), red zebras, yellow top mbamba are a few to name. Haha.

And what are the dimensions of the tank? Decor?

What colors are you looking for? A lot of beautiful Mbuna to choose from.

Yea I'm throwing more Anubias in there and researching java moss for the rock as well.

What are you thinking java moss? I'm putting African Malawi cichlids in once the tank has cycled. I'm also going on vacation. Is there anything I need to do to prep while I'm gone? My neighbor will be watching over my house. I was thinking of throwing some fish food (flakes) in there to keep...

Another update! Water filled. 2 canister filters running Got a few Anubias going in the tank. (More to come) Started my fishless cycle. Here we go!

Love it!! Hahahaha

Update on my tank! Not sure how I feel about it yet. Talking to Bubba643. Maybe some Anubias will make this look awesome! What do you think?

I think I will have to look into it. It should make everything in the tank pop and not look like a bunch of rocks just stacked together. I like the look of it just not to sure on that big cave yet. Haha. Do you think the big cave is to much? Should I rebuild and make smaller?

Well I built the other rock cave today. Not sure how I feel about it yet. I think it needs something. What do you guys think? Plants? I didn't silicon this one.

I think that would look awesome especially once you get the driftwood and rocks going over there. I like the real plants but I have no experience with them. Wouldn't know where to start and Mbuna will more than likely shred them to pieces. I was thinking after my caves of building a bridge over...

I am using a clear waterproof Silicone. I let it sit overnight. I will check it today and make sure it's secure before I put it in the tank. That's the small one. I have another one to build with 2 pots I cut and connected together. I think I might leave the ends open for easier access in and...

Well here is my first go at the rock cave idea with the slate rock. I found some smaller pots that I could build around.

Ok guys first attempt at the rock caves. What do you think???
