My cichlid setup.... opinions wanted...Dial up warning

[evolution2006]

Hi all,

It's been a while since i've been on here..... been busy with other commitments and holiday etc.

I almost have my tank the way i want it to look and wanted your opinions on how it's lookin......
The Greshakie was recently saved from my lfs that was being tormented by a small tank full of very large agressive auratus with nowhere to hide, I couldn't let him stay there.

Are the yellow fish in pic 7 Male Lombardoi?

Are these Male Lombardoi?

i'm not a african tank lover i confess, but i guess it looks like the tipycal mbuna tank. if it was me i whould only use rock the same type and colour, to make it look real, but i guess you are a mbuna guy, and like most mbuna lovers your tank is a typical mbuna tank....

Looks great - i'd get rid of the flowerpot.

Those are male lombardoi (kenyi).

Now thats what I think a cichlid tank is supposed to look like.....I wouldn't leave the house if I had that

Think your right i will get rid of the pot, none of the fish are using it anyways.

all the fish look very nice and healthy with great colors. I like the tank setup as well.

Thanks tonymofo...... i only wish my other half would allow me to get a 6ft or 8ft tank, We got plenty of room for them. I've always loved cichlids since i seen them at a mates house.....

I've only been keeping them for about 10 months...... I previously had a tropical community tank setup, but always knew that i wanted to get into these but its difficult to get them, I prefer to buy from local breeders.

thanks again and keep comments coming..... I need more new ideas

damn, now that is a nice looking tank. Not typical as previously stated but exceptionally well done. Good job.

The fish your asking about in my tank are Pseudotropheus acei....... common name yellow tail acei, or Ps acei 'Luwala reef'..... I think there is another colour variation of white tail acei or the 'Ngara' acei


Thanks to all that have commented so far
