Those are Pseudotropheus socolofi.
Is that enough rock for my tank?

It is enough rock if you are happy with it. :)

looks good luxta, do i see a few johaniis there?  i had 4 little one's that became very very aggressive once they were adults, so be careful with those

any breeding going on there?

Re: Post your african cichlid tank photos!

thanks finfan. Yes, there are 2 johaniis in the tank. I thought if i grow them from small then they will get along with other :(
So far i have 1 yellow lab holding and she's in the 10gal tank now.

Re: Post your african cichlid tank photos!

you didn't copy the entire link from photobucket. notice on the link you posted it is not followed by '.jpg', that's what produces the image on the forums.

Yes, they are fakes, but they do look good.....you can find them at T&T, BB's, I have also seen them at City Pets as well.

The cheapest place to get them would probably be Micheal's, Pottery barn, Garden Ridge, Hobby Lobby, etc.  make sure you get the silk or plastic plants.

Re: Post your african cichlid tank photos!

Wow, I've been to Hobby Lobby a few times but never thought of using their fake plants in the fish tank.  Cool.  Do they need to be treated in anyways?

[J-WS6]

Re: Post your african cichlid tank photos!

I would bleach them at least once, then soak them in dechlorinated water for 24 hours or so. You should be good to go then

nice tank steveCGG

Re: Post your african cichlid tank photos!

Thanks! Yes they are fake...EK is right, go to Michaels, Garden Ridge, Hobby Lobby, etc for plastic or silk plants. As they get a little algae on them, they look better. You can clean them, but sometimes its faster & cheaper to get new ones, than spending hours soaking, scrubbing, & rinsing. Or have a second group ready to go while you soak the dirty ones for a few days.  
Check Sunday's paper for their sales too. Michaels is having a sale & has coupons today...
