Hi,

Here is my first cichlid tank, it was a community tank but i have changed it to a cichlid tank, all thats in it is 5 yellow labido's..

Here is some pics through the changes of the tank

Hope you like it, any tips or info would be good also, thanks

Nice tank but won't the cichlids eat the plants??

Nothing, just 5 labido's thats all, dont think i should add anything else with the tank only been 2ft long.

Very nice tank looking gr8.

Is there anything else i could add to it (fish)?

 

[Nix]

Personally, I wouldn't add any more africans, yellow labs are very low on the aggression totem pole, anything else would likely bully them in a small tank like that.

very nice tank but your labidechromis caruleas (sorry about spelling) will chew up your plants so if I where you I would get rid of the plants and add a lot more rocks

congrats mate...
now all you have to do is go and get a bigger tank, then go south/central american

I will just replace the plants when they get crap.. finished the setup now, gone with a orange white and green color scheme

Put some fake plants in as well
