No, there's no salvini on that list

Edit: Had to google the Pelvicachromis Subocellatus Matadi, females are stunners remind me of parrots a little though.

Love the amount of wood in here mate, I really wanna grt a ton of narrow java in my new scape I think, so need some decent wood, do you find that mopani releases alot of tannins

Also where did you get your pelvicachromis from and do you have pics

The Mopani does leech like crazy, especially with 21 pieces in a 180 litre tank. lol. It does get removed gradually though with water changes, plus i like the look of it anyway. As for the Matadi, i got them from a friend who in turn got them from Peter Clarke on here. There is currently 1 female and 3 males, but 1 male is going back to my mate who has lost his so that will leave me with 1f and 2m. Hoping to get them to pair but as of yet no signs what so ever. You would think that they're schooling fish as they are constantly by each others sides.

Proxo, i did have 6 L182's in this tank a few weeks back, but halved the group so i could put some in my other tank.

Here are a couple of pics you wanted of the Matadi. Far from the best and the female does usually have alot more colour than this.

Looks great! I really like the addition of the crypts. I think you might have to add an algae eater or two tho... As for yellow what about yellow Congo tetras?

 

[minnnt]

Lol! Yeah I do have a few. the Oto's may go in my 70 litre tank. I have to make sure I feed a lot for bottom feeders.

The crypts are nice. I have removed the wendtii brown so just have the greens left now.
