Absolutely fabulous job of copying the Tanganyikan enviroment.My only question is,does it really matter when most of the cichlids are bred and tank raised, does it really matter? My tanks look like salt water aquariums and my cichlids still reproduce like guppies! do you really think it matters to fish that have been tank raised all their lives. Would they really know the difference?

It's a beautiful tank. I envy you. I am only 13 so I cant afford something like that. I only have a 29 gal kit from walmart. lol. It has an oscar, 2 african cichlids, a pictus cat, and a corry cat. I know, I know. Too small right. I almost have enough money for an acrillic 85 gal for my oscar. I am also going to put a pleco in it.
