Ignore my picture taking skills :) Comments and identifications would be awesome! There are also 2 plecos in the tank that i didn't bother with getting picture of. I'm in love with the cat and the LFS said it does really well with the africans.

I like the aquascaping, but I think that background is a bit overpowering and doesn't allow the fish to be the showcase of the tank. I would change it out with a pure black background. Other than that, I think it looks great.
 
Lookin' good.;)
 
well on the last pic you have a dimidiochromis compressiceps and nimbochromis type, they could reach 10in
in the second pic you have a tilapia buttikoferi that reaches a 12in size and some mbuna cichlid
on the third you have a labidochromis caerleus also call yellow lab that reaches a max size of 5 in
in the fouth its a red zebra and fifth is a mbuna to but no sure on what type

the nimmbochromis is a really agressive fish so be careful but pay more atention to your buttikoferi

you have some great looking fish
coingrats :D
 
Thanks a ton guys i think I'm going to try out the black background and see how it looks. And thanks Gazella that really helps out a lot so i know what to expect and i can do some research on them :)
 
Also I'm not positive on what to feed the cat. I tried blood worms but the fish eat them up really quickly and then become bloated. I threw some shrimp pellets in there and he ate a little of that but nothing else that I have noticed. Is there something I should look into buying for him to eat that the fish won't...
 
You've got a pretty good collection. Is that an Eye Biter (Dimidiochromis compressiceps) in the last pic ?? Nice find. Looks good.

The synodontis may go after the little guys.. Keep a watch. Setup's also looking good.
