NEW MALAWI CICHLID AQUARIUM set up

Here finaly is my aquarium (120 litre) with a good number of fish. The background is a back to nature slimline and coral sand for substrate. All the fish are getting along great and I am realy happy with how it looks.

@boyscoutslayers

It takes very long time for a Plecostomus to grow. In nature, they can grow up to over 60 cm, and be over 40 years old. You obviously know nothing about your fish. Your malawi's are (don't know what it's called in english) flock-fish. That means they thrive a lot better if there are more of them. The males need some females to chase, and having more males together, will bring up the colors a lot more. But sooner or later, you will find out, that the tank is too small.

@DomiiKing I agree. I'd say a minimum of 250 litres for Mbuna, and more for the haplochromis, aulonocara, and predators. But he'll find out that it's too small, when they mature, they will kill eachother in that small tank, no room for territories..

120 liters for malwis? i think it´s too small :(

Can you get the Back to the nature background in the USA? I have not seen any USA sites for it. Awesome tank. Perfect cichlid tank.
