Hi, thought i would share my new tank layout. I have had a little swap around of fish, but have decided to base the stock around the Rio Usumancita river drainage (Rio Candelaria). Apart from the Hypsophrys nicaraguensis pair, all fish would be found together. The H. nigaraguensis are only added to grow on for a later project, as my fish seem to grow for fun in my tanks.;)

The wood has been collected locally, better than the expensive crap stuff in the lfs, and free.:thumbsup: I've added quite a few oak tree branches to the tank. It may appear cluttered, but this will aid some of the cichlids to stake territorys and hopefully spawn.

Recommend to click photos to full size.

All the best,

Lee Nuttall.
 
That looks great man, im hoping to setup something like that in my tank. Whats your stocklist looking like? And how did you get the driftwood to stay towards the top of the tank?
 
If I said that I hated it, would you really believe me?;) I'm just kidding. You have created another spectacular tank and stock. I forgot what size tank it was though. Good job, Nutty!
 
Beautiful Lee. :D I wish I had the kind of eye you do for tank-scape.
 
Again beautiful aquascape and the stocklist looks awesome! I especially love that heterospila. Do you have a pair?
