[CichlidFanatic]

i had asked a few questions earlier about the spotted raphiel.
i saw one at the LFS when i dropped my gf off for work. best time to go fish shopping HEHE. and they had 2 of them so i came here did some research and decided to see how the little bugger is.
i also picked up another Female Yellow Lab. for my breeder setup

hes a tiny guy

hes in the Community cichlid tank. i already lost him, hes already found a good hiding spot.

and heres what the whole tank looks like

Thanks And LMK what ya think

Wow, I really like the design of your tank!

 

[eternity302]

Love the design! BUT WOW! I cannot imagine cleaning gravel O.O" WOULD BE HELL!

 

[CichlidFanatic]

thanks guys, i have a sand bottom and it isnt to bad to clean. but im sure i lose a little sand everytime

Looks like a pretty tank. I bet that raph has a killer hiding spot. You oughtta get him a buddy or two. Looks like a pain to clean w/ all them large rocks on top of the sand. Do you leave the rocks in or pull them out to clean?

Nice setup in the tank i like it alot

Once you start getting lab fry, they will clean out the rocks...

[CichlidFanatic]

lol thats for the coment, tank isnt that heavy its just a 55 lol, all rocks come out for a clean (pretty much everything comes out). im gonna see how he is then mabye get another, and most of the cichlids are goin into different tanks for breeding soon (no fry in the 55)
