125G Mixed African Tank - Update

[TaTeR ToT]

udated pics!

here it is with the new fake plants
apparently my fish like onions as much i do  
cause they were destroying the plants.
i also added an Odyssea350 powerhead spongle filter combo, and an aqauclear 70 powerhead sponge filter combo aimed at the surface of the tank on each end for more circulation and surface agitation.
i also moved all of my malawis to this tank, so far so good, i have 1x yellow lab female holing and the male yl and the other f yl are statin to do the dirty  
also my blue ahli's are shaking and displaying  

anywho here is a pic of the setup, enjoy

Nice collection of malawis. I use to love fishes from that lake, but I been keep tangs only for a while now.

For sure I like the Pseudotropheus Demasoni. I think a colony of them would look great!

Re: 125G Mixed African Tank - Update

this tanks mainly for the color and activity.
the 75g will be for entertainment as i will have an awesome flower horn in that tank.

Wonder why we don't have more people trying to breed FH's in Houston?

Waste of time?
Waste of money?
Waste of effort?

Ever see what a brood of home bred FH look like?
Remember the bucket full of Tx.Cichlids we use to pull from the bayou?
