Meant to also ask approximately how many fish you had in the tank (if you know)?

I would kind of like to start over with my 125g. Many of the fish are from the "hodgepodge" I started with when I didn't know about species groups and also didn't know about most of the species available. I have been able to sell off some of the random ones and build up some species groups, but there are just so many other species I would rather keep. I would just start another tank, but there is just no more room in our tiny 1 bedroom apartment. Your tank makes me jealous because you got some great species and their colors compliment each other well.

Also, is there a reason you didn't add any haps? Not criticizing, just curious. Again, the tank looks unbelievable.

Uhmm .. Two of the species that are in the photos actually aren't in there right now. They are the Hara & the Lupingu Lions... Here is a list: Most of these are not full grown so the overall numbers are pretty high because the M/F ratios haven't been sorted out yet.

Met Msobo - 12 (2 are confirmed male)
Labs - 10 (Don't know the ratio yet)
Cyno Chinywazaki - 8 (Don't know ratio. Atleast two are male though)
Acei Ngara - 12 (1 confirmed male & female) 10 more at 2"
Acei Msuli - 6 @ 2"
Labeo Trew 'Mpanga' - 3M/3F
Ps. Demasoni - 1 Male
Syno Multi - 3
Syno Petricola - 2
Syno Dwarf Petricola - 2

No Peacocks/Haps because I don't think they would fare well with the bruisers that are currently in there. Much less long term when the Msobo & Trewavasae are 6+ inches when grown. They are 3-4" right now.
 
Wow very nice tank. It has given me many ideas :)

How did you do the background? Is it black or dark blue?
