Been a while since I posted updates on my Cichla hybrids. Here I shifted them to a tank of their own. Decided on a low tech planted to give it a more natural look. Tried to create a biotypish tank, at least, look wise :D


Tank Size:7ft. X 1.5ft. X 2.5ft.
Volume: 190G - 740Ltrs.
Hardscape Used:Red Volcanic laterite rocks and driftwood
Substrate:Sand
Lights: 3xT5 lamps
Plant/Flora Used:Valesneria Gigantea, Anubias ‘nana’, A. Barteri, A. Coffefolia, Cryptocyrone wendetii ‘green’, Vesicularia Montagnei, Microsorum 'pteropus'/’windelov’/’narrow’
Fish/Fauna Used: 6 Cichila MonoculusXocellaris
Fertilizers Used: Soil CareTM Aquatic Fertilizer Range (Macro+Micro+Iron)
Filtration:Overhead sump with 1400lph pump. A 1500lph IPF, 12000lph Sunsun wavemaker.

Hahah yes I always do wish it was wider than that 18". Will be changing this tank early next year ;)
In any case this ain't their final home. This tank is at my restaurant and I always keep changing my setups there to keep my guests interested as this is the waiting area :)
Thanks for liking it G...
