So funny watching the comp try to mate with a deep water hap.

I have an 11" Tyrannochromis nigreventer"north". He would look great in that tank.
you should check them out.
Awesome tank!!!

Many Thanks guys for all the compliments!

I just added the following haps this past weekend:

WC Protomelas Taeniolatus Boadzulu Red - 4"
WC Borleyi Refin Kadango - 6.75 - 7"
WC Sceirnochromis Gracilis - 5"
WC Taeniochromis Holotaenia - 5"
F1 or F2 Female Champsochromis Caerulus 4"
WC Tyrannochromis Nigriventer - 8"

So far so good. I am a little concerned with the emperor cichlids. Their growth rate is astonishing - they have grown approx .5 in about 3 weeks - partly my fault for over feeding them. They seem to be aggressive towards themselves but they do also aggressively chase some of the smaller fish.

Re. The background - it is the kiama background from universal rock. I had to cut and join 2 48"x24" pieces together to get the 84" length. Then add in a 6" piece across the bottom since the tank is 30" tall.

Stock list - there are approx 55 fish in there - I may need to upgrade again soon

I will post a stock list soon....

Thanks again....Steve

Hi Guys,

I recently tore down my 265 and gave it a good cleaning and replaced the background with a Aqua Decor Custom 3d background. Here is an updated video:
