Likoma Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Its awesome to see so many fishkeepers setting up Mbuna only tanks. The vibrant colors ,gregarious behavior and social hierarchy is very enjoyable to watch.This aquarium houses 5 different species and is a current favorite of mine.I love the coloring of the Red Top Tewavasae. The orange fins really highlight the pale blue coloring. They are also excellent algae grazer. No need for waste producing plecs.This is shot through our mixed African cichlid aquarium into the mbuna tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gombe Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Very nice, the black substrate seems to help with the viewing pleasure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buccal Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Nicely balanced and a real life look to it.Pristine buffed looking water to.A good set up for viewing in display mode,, because you know a secret little trick that most people don't think of when trying to show of a presentation display.This is: Having the back half of tank dark and not illuminated, and not being able to see through back of tank.And using a small amount of quality T type fluorescent light or a mellowed governed halide usually 16000 kelvin.Just enough light to catch the fish and make them glow in front of the darkness.To often I see displays flooded out with light.

Ged Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Beautiful setup. The combination of the five species contrasting against the rock work and dark substrate is stunning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FullyYellow Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 It's an amazing setup indeed. Beats my texas holey rock and crushed coral sand setup... Gotta set one up like this as well. Led lights? Bonsai rocks? Black Tahitian moon sand? And the background is it painted black? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
