Kerrin Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Hey folks, It's been a long time since I've been active on here. I have had a number of different tanks since the tang community and went right the way down the planted route with high light and c02, had some species tanks and some L numbers, and some big planted communities.Due to other interests I found my time for the tanks becoming less and less and they started to become a chore. I sold up the tangs a couple of months ago and the other day I made the decision to shut down 4 of the 5 remaining tanks.My intention was to go back to basics and have 1 or 2 display tanks that I could enjoy and maintain properly.I really wanted to get back into mbuna as I haven't kept them for about 8 or so years and I miss the antics so I decided that I would turn the 4ft community into a malawi tank.I pulled it all down, and with the store credit from my various fish and plants set it up again for some cichlids. One of the bonuses of using an established tank is no cycle, just looked after the eheim during the down time and got it all up and running again.It is now home to 10 juvie demasoni, and 6 juvie yellow labsHere's a shot of the tankand some of the inhabitantsHope you all enjoy, here's looking forward to cichlids againKerrin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuckmeister Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Welcome back, its a nice looking setup.I gotta admit I'm getting pretty close myself to setting up an L tank, not planted though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ged Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Kerrin very nice setup. What else are you going to add? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerrin Posted December 17, 2014 Author Share Posted December 17, 2014 Thanks for the replies folks, At this stage I don't intend to add anything more to this set up, I think these 2 species will get along fine with minimal aggression and hopefully there is enough rock work and numbers to keep the demasoni aggression to a minimum,While there are a few other mbuna I would love to have in there, I don't want to be pulling things out to rescue fish and watching the tank in despair as war breaks out ongoingThats the plan anyway Kerrin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teamsherman Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Oh, by the way, that little Electric Yellow is stunning, where did you get them from if you dont mind posting that? If not, can you PM me? They look very very similar to the ones I've recently taken on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
