tank pics

Here are some pics of my cichlid tank. I've rearranged the rockwork many times and just added plants (fake).

I have a total of 16 fish in this tank, plus a few fry hiding in the rocks.
-3 red zebras
-4 yellow labs
-4 Aceis
-5 blue kenyi (2 are fry that I just reintroduced from my fry grow-out tank).

Couldnt put my finger on that one i couldnt identify. It was the acei. Very pretty fish. Makes me wish i had a cichlid tank still.

I wanted to make sure all got a chance to see it, not just the folks who browse the cichlid section.:ezpi_wink1:

Makes me wish I found the Acei before the red zebras. I hate those things. I could fill that whole tank with Aceis and be perfectly happy.

None of my adult female Kenyi have retained the blue color like yours. My male is bright orange and my females are orangish brown. I've got 3 Kenyi fry which are bright blue obviously, and I wish that the color would stay. Great looking tank!

Yep, they are eating machines. They splash water out of the tank when I open it to feed them. They NEVER stop eating....I've discovered why everybody says to overfilter their tanks!

I have noticed too that some of my females have turned that drab brown color, one just started changing after 5 months, which seemed kind of strange.

my africans are retards. I often feed them in one corner of the tank, and now they just hang out there in a huge clomp of cichlid waiting for food
