New African Cichlid Setup - April 2007

After working on our new tank for the past few weeks we finally have it completed. We have added about 50lbs of rock, additional substrate, a new background and fully reconstructed the entire tank. This is the finished setup and we are very happy with it. Here is the new video for all you fish fanatics. So Enjoy! :)

nice tank but if I were you i would add a few more fish to crowd the tank...looks like you have ten in there, 14 or 15 is best for a 55 gallon.

@xxbluezxx How are the fish doing now? Becuase if you just take any kind of rock from somewhere (especially your garden) they can slowly leach dangerous chemicals into the tank. Lime scale, Higher pH, High calcium and higher metallic substances can harm fish. Are the fish still fine as in this video?
