I'm surprised to see plants as I understand a lot of cichils dig them up. I'm sure the fish appreciate all the hiding places you provided for them. It looks really good for a Mbuna tank, IMHO

Yeh,well i'm not a big fan of plastic plants either,I just wanted something to fill it out until I got some more plants....maybe some vals or something else that cichlids don't like to eat,or I'll wait until I grow some more java fern. Thanks for the compliments.....ash "if you're goin swimmin,watch out for the noahs"
