I guess its official, I've got a serious bug for this stuff now:19: ! I've now got a 125 stocked with Mbuna that I mail ordered. They all arrived healthy and happy and so far seem to be doing great. Stocking is:

8 Yellow Labs-Lions Cove
8 Rusties
8 Pseudotropheus Acei- Itungi
7 Cyno Afra- Jalo Reef
7 Lab. Fuelleborni-Marmalade Cat

They are all juvies, with the Cats the biggest at about 1 3/4". I don't know if I ever posted them here, but I'll include pics if the DIY stand and canopy for this tank. Pics of the fish aren't the greatest, but they're all I have so far. Enjoy.

Thanks everyone for all the nice words! I really feel good knowing it looks good to others, not just me, especially since so many of you have seen so many other tanks. I have to give credit where it's due. Find ErikfromNJ's thread in the DIY. His is the stand that inspired mine, just slightly modified. I'll post some more build pics of mine there.

Great stock!

You chose great fish to keep. You should have great color as the fish mature and interesting behavior without too much aggression.

Tank looks good.

Thank you EH!

The tank and fish are beautiful...that's a given! However....the fact that you built the stand and hood is AWESOME! Its a gorgeous tank period!

Congratulations and well done!

Thank you everyone!

Amazon, I'm afraid this might be it for a while. I do enjoy them alot, but I don't think my wife will be into more than we have, and I'm comfortable enough doing the WC's on the 125 and a 72.

Mith, thank you again, and I have to say that I always look forward to your posts for some comic relief thumbs2: ! Entertaining to say the least.

Who has two thumbs and is way jealous? thumbs2: This guy. It looks stellar!

Again thank you for the compliments:19: ! But if that isn't enough, tonight I realized that I have at least 1m/1f Rusty, because she is holding eggs. They've been in the tank 3 weeks tomorrow! I know they aren't bashful about it, but jeez. I can't imagine she'll be very successful because she's barely 1 1/2". Here is a pic.
