Day 2 of my new ]V[onster project

[flipstylex]

it looks realy cool. just make sure the rocks are well planted.... accidents can happen when they are all sacked up like that !

I think that's a really cool idea, but i would black out the back, bottom, and maybe one side. Don't mbunas get too big for a 10g?

oh yeah, they will get 6-8" in most cases ... this was just a spur of the moment purchase, so they are in a 10g until i figure out how big of a community i want to keep
as for blacking out the sides and back, i havent decided yet ... and the bottom is all black gravel

it looks realy cool. just make sure the rocks are well planted.... accidents can happen when they are all sacked up like that !

yeah, i tested to make sure everything is sturdy

 

[peewee]

wow! full of rocks!

Just found this thread ... 6 months old so I thought I would update ...

I had all the cichlids in a 29 full of rocks, then a 20L under it with smaller cichlids, and a 15g tank (not pictured) for any potential fry ...

 

[new2natives]

And now I'm on to the 180g for adult fish, and keeping the 29,20,15 running for fry and growouts

...Soon to add a LFS rack for breeding them ...

Wow man looks way different in there. Still nice, just different.

 

[ArttyFish]

That sure is a lot of rocks in the 10 gallon. If you took it all out the tank would be left with 2 gallons of water

 

[Noone]

Looks good :U

 

[Peckoltia]

cool tank, needs better fish

cichla, dats, stingrays, etc

Yeah - cichla, dats and rays all great fish for a 10g!

Good luck with the tank bro.
