Nice setup.

Thanks guys...I am really pleased with it.


I just did a large water change last night and there is a virtual orgy going on! Every lead male from each species is trying to entice their respective females...even the Synodontis multipunctatus are showing breeding signs. Even the young, sexually immature Magunga Red males appearing duskier in color and following females around.
The other thing I enjoy watching the mbuna do is the wild type behavior of grazing on the algae that grows on the field stone.

Looks great. I really like the aquascaping with all the rock. Must be fun when it comes time to catch fry!  ;D

Looking at the fish themselves, is that M. sp. "Dolphin Manda" in there? The male looks striking.




P.S. Why did you nickname it "Allegheny National Forest".  ???  :P
