Conaquavict Posted September 25, 2005 Report Share Posted September 25, 2005 Hi, I was just wondering what you guys thought of my African setup.? I have kept cichlids for years but never malawis. My new African setup. Full tank shot. A close up shot. A few of the occupants.

Caryl Posted September 25, 2005 Report Share Posted September 25, 2005 Nice pics! Care for a little constructive criticism though? Hey, you did ask what we thought. Love the background. Did you make it yourself? If so, how? The rocks in the front are interesting shapes but are stacked evenly in similar little piles and the tank loses its 'natural' look because of this. I would break those piles into perhaps 2, one larger than the other to go for a more 'scattered' look. The little green blobs all over the background detract from the whole. I assume they are plastic plants? Of course, once the algae starts growing on the background it may all blend together so perhaps they will improve over time as the tank matures. Having said all that remember it is your tank and if you like it that is all that matters Love the fish by the way :lol: Looking good!

Conaquavict Posted September 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2005 The back ground is custom made, i only wish i was skilled enough to make one myself, lol your right, the algae has kina blended the plants into the back ground and i have since moved the rocks, they now look like this... Thanks for the comments guys, much appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
