So here is the tank.

I have a couple plants in there and I may have overdone the rock work a little. Please give me your honest feedback. This is my first African tank, but I am pleased with how it turned out. The tank does have one very unique thing about it...... the hopefully soon to be world famous...... penis rock!!

Nice looking setup! How do the loaches get along with the cichlids?

Cool tank! What kind of gravel is that?

Right now the clown loaches and the cichlids are getting along just fine. They tend to stay out of each others way.

It's actually a mix of sand. I went to a pool store and bought a 50 pound bag of white sand (the kind they use in the pool filters) for $10. I had to fork out more for the black at a fish store $20 for a 20 pound bag. I mixed it all together and that is what I came up with.

How about a whole tank shot?

With all that you have in the tank the background is a little too busy... Detracts from your fish!

I think you did a good job however I think if you changed the background to black and maybe get a few more rocks the same looking instead of all the colors I think your fish would stand out more just my opinion Pat.
