If I could find enough nice flat rocks like that I would fill my Mbuna tank with them.ironspider said:I just started cycling my tank in preparation for African Cichlids. I'm not happy with my setup compared to what I've seen out there. How does this look to you guys? Any ideas to improve?
I'm not a fan of backgrounds....not sure why.Trademark said:Maybe paint the back black or get a background
I added a couple little pieces and two more large fake plants.Cyphro said:You want rocks to block off line of sight and make lots of hiding spaces. Right now they don't do that too much.
I have about 3-4 inches between the tank and the wall now. No way I'd be able to put something on the back. I certainly don't think it's possible to move the 55g now.DNK said:A painted/sticky background will make a massive difference. All personal preference but generally blue or black and is cheap over a moulded rocky one or similar. Could try vinyl sticky one to see what you like then maybe paint the back (looks better IMO.)
very nice, are you currently cycling? No fish yet.chaddersp said:Here is my set up. I'm completely new to keeping fish and I thought long and hard about Mbuna, but I'm glad I did. I remember someone telling me your tank should be a row of detached houses rather than terraced. The reason is if you have one dominant fish he'll want the whole row of houses. Where as if they are detached he can only have one leaving room for the others.
