Wow. I plan on doing the same with my cichlids but in a 125 gallon tank. I plan on having a tank similar to what you would find in the wild, in Lake Malawi. But I have to admit, what you have done with thi stank is termendous, yet so serene. Kudos.
Absolutely beautiful tank and well maintained. I don't think the drift wood is too big of a problem. Plus, you gotta switch it up. The rocks in your tank are incredible. Where'd you get them? I have a 36 gallon bowfront. Would you know by chance, what African Malawi Cichlids would be compatible in this tank, considering size and aggression? Also, what would be a good range for the total amount of fish? Thanks
Thanks for the reply. I like change every now and then in my tanks. I no longer have the driftwood in the tank. I'm using all limestone and switched to aragonite substrate. You can find and purchase limestone locally where I'm from. I would start off with 2-3 species. There are a lot of options if you are stocking a new tank. Labidochromis caeruleus and Pseudotropheus acei's aren't too aggressive by nature. It's mainly what you are interested in keeping.
hey! how big is your tank? and how heavy are the rocks that you put? im planning to redesign my tank. ill refer to your design, but no driftwoods. and balck background to show the intense color of cichlids thank you
I'd take out the driftwood if I were you, I believe it can soften the water and lower the pH. That's kinda the opposite of what you want in an african cichlid tank, right? lol. I dunno, it might not be enough to impact it at all.
I put the driftwood in there to change it up. It didn't impact the tank too much. It was in the tank for a short time. I'm currently using aragonite substrate instead of silica sand now.
I'm using windows movie maker. I notice you can only play back some videos in high quality. I've actually tested with avi, mpeg, and wmv format. They pretty much look the same when played on youtube. This video is in wmv format.

One mistake in the description, I am afraid it is Pseudotropheus Esterae, and not Metriaclime Esterae. Beautiful tank!

It's a 55g. I'm using medium to large pieces of limestone. I currently have 50-60 lbs in the tank at the moment.
