is it hard to keep mbuna's, are they very demanding????

@Harith831 Not at all, provided you follow some guidelines: 1) Have a big enough tank for your fish. 55 gallons MINIMUM with excellent filtration. 2) Plenty of places to hide - the more places they have to stake as their own, the less aggression you will have (for the most part) 3) Water changes - Do your water changes every week - I do 30% every Sunday. Make sure you test your water regularly 4) Make sure you cycle your tank well before putting any fish in it

where di you buy the rocks

[bman0341]

You can get those rocks at any aquarium shop. Large ones like the red ones are 10 dollars or so.

Hi, nice tank!! Can you check out my tank and tell me what kind of fish i have? I just know that I have 2 yellow labs and yellow tail acei. Thanks

cool, i'm setting up a african tank now. Hopefully I'll have some cichlids soon.

Filtration is an Emperor 300 Bio-Wheel. Does a great job but I plan on running a seconds one - you can never have enough filtration. You can definitely get by with one but of you do, run a Koraliya Nano Powerhead on the opposite side to get a little extra circulation.
