Excuse the awful pic taken with i phone but yeah this is it a few days on i trimmed the tops of the vallis at the front as it was a bit brown from drying out when I ordered it in. other then that they seem to be doing well. as you can see I keep them all occupied with the slices of courgette.

I was thinking about doing a very similar tank, just hadn't decided if I liked the african cichlids enough to devote a large tank to them...until now. Looks really good!

thanks and thanks for the plant list they all look like they would get destroyed by the fish.

Quick update just over a month on everything has grown pretty well considering the amount of Tropheus in here also added a few more as you can see.
