Love the contrast in your tank. The plants give me the impression that they're fake plants. But it's a beautiful green in the tank.

They are fake indeed, one tank did look like this with live plants

But it becomes difficult once certain cichlids mature to stop them turning you plants into salad lol so i had to make the change to artificial

Thank you
Its the cichlids which are from Central america really, their entourage lol are from south america mainly apart from the barbs

Not much choice when it comes to dither/smaller fish from central america. Harder to source and there is way more choice in the south

Little bit of sadness today having taken my little army of Ellioti cichlids to my Lfs to find their forever homes All turned out ok tho and all 42 arrived safely the other end

Ive was going to keep a small group myself but decided on just keeping a pair in the end.

Had an empty 29g with the Ellioti's gone so i thought im going to make it home for my juvenile keyholes now but with me being at my favourite fish store it was a good bet i wasnt coming away without anything

So the 29g is a quarantine tank for the time being for a

Blue Phantom Plec L128
