Some really nice looking fish in there.  Really like the white lips.

That's a crazy mix, has to be entertaining to watch.

Looks great Danny. The white lips are by far one of my favorite fish 8)

Hey thanks for the kind remarks you blokes...appreciated. I'm a huge white lip fan...ideally I would have separate Malawi & Tang tanks but alas I am limited to my 125 and a small 12 gal the boys have some black calvus fry growing out in...crikey are they the slowest growing fry EVER...10 weeks old and still the biggest is only just 1/3"...i might have some fry for sale in 2020 if anyone is planning that far ahead 😂😂

Awesome looking tank, the fish look amazing in there sir. Two question though:
1) are those red bishops in there?
2) what kind of stone are you using (specifically the dark ones)

G'day mate! They are red bishops...not as red as I would like but their color is improving as they grow..and a nice splash of color in my tank.
The rock was collected from the Maumee River. It is actually a tan brown color but has a nice coating of different color algae growing on it. Eventually all rock ends up the color of the algae growing on it...unless of course you clean it regularly, butvthat a mission I gave up on 2 decades ago...lol
