Lol, it's not hard to realise why I want a South American cichlid tank, all you have to do is look at yours lol.
 
quick question for you. did you paint the back of the tank or is it a wallpaper? I'm trying to figure out the best way to achieve a black background.
 
Very nice Japes!! Love the Geophagus altifrons "Tocantins". Too bad you are getting rid of it, but I understand your reasons. The full tank shot looks really good.

I have your standard vinyl black background 'oiled' and essentially vacuumed onto the back.

I was wondering about the same thing - that background looks fantastic! Really brings out all the colors.

How did you do it exactly?? :)
