smidey Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 Hi all, today i have got my first african cichlids. Have had this tank up & running for 3 weeks now. got the last bits & pieces i needed today, new light tube etc. I have only put three yellow labiochromis in for now to make sure the water is ok. all the tests i did for the water came back fine, there was some dust type stuff leach out of the sandstone so am a little cautious at this stage. once these have survived for a week I will get 10 or so more. I wish I had've done this sooner, the fish have been in the tank for two hours & my wife & I are already planning a 300L cichlid tank. here are some pics: tank: http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g183/ ... is002a.jpg Yellows: http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g183/ ... is014a.jpg Yellow: http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g183/ ... is008b.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
