Thanks guys.

Tank looks great, what is the background made out of, is it real stone or fake. Looks real and I really like the 3D look.

I'll PM you a link of my set up info.

Thanks for that link, that is really cool seeing the setup. It makes for a great background.

Sorry if the video is crappy, they are my africans in a 55gal though.
Since this video I have added quite a few rocks, and the bumblebees bred, and the male turned jett black!

Looks great, thanks for posting. If you get an updated video of the tank with the added rocks, please add it, I'd like to see.

My male is always jet black. Since they are not so colorful I think they are under appreciated in the mbuna world. I love my big guy!!

Mine is always black also, you can see some faint stripes on him though. I really like the personality on the fish though, and it gets along in the community very well.

Mine too, not over mean or anything, but keeps the melanochromis in line.

Funny you mention the melanochromis, I have a very aggressive melanochromis johannii and my crabro is the only one that keeps it in line, if it wasn't for my crabro, I would probably have to remove the johannii from the tank.

Here's another vid with some close ups, I've weeded out all the females (figured I'd vent everyone while venting the aulonocara) and traded them in for other males, the aggression has clearly subsided since:
