Since the change from African monsters to African cichlids last saturday we have put in 38 fish! Gonna go to ~70, maybe more...
The theme was Malawi mbunas but there is however one Moorii and one Victorian fish in the tank, the Moorii will probably be removed.

The fish:
4x Red Zebra
6x Red Top Zebra
6x Mpanga
2x Kingsizei
2x Johannii
1x Acei (gonna get at least 9 more soon)
2x Fuelleborni ob
1x White Lab
2x Yellow Lab
4x Johanni/Zebra hybrids
1x Moorii
1x Unknown #1 (Afra?)
1x Unknown #2 (Greshakei?)
1x Flavus
1x Albino sp.
1x Auratus
1x Maingano
1x Nyererei (Victorian)

and a few shots of the fish:

So what do you think of this so far?
Comments and suggestions welcome!
 
great start and you should be able to put atleast 85 or better in that 200 thats what I have in mine but no counting the multi fry
 
awesome tank, wish i had room for an african tank. very nice stock
 
nice collection...if so fully jealous of your 200 gallons of awesomeness, wish i had the space.
 
and honestly, that auratus looks more like a chipoke....but thats just me.
 
SWEET tank. Not sure if you've already decided on what your stock is going to be--but I highly recommend Demasoni. I've got a few in my tank and they're not only beautiful fish but they're also very entertaining to watch.
 
looks like a show tank. but needs a few more hiding places, and a couple catfish to polish it off...the ones of synodontis variety do best (i.e. feather fin, petricola, etc.)
