malawi slate tank

Description

• Category: Lake Malawi
• Tank size: 31x11x19 inches = 31 gallons
• Tank size: 80x30x50 cm = 120 liters
  
  This is my first tank set up that i did in september 2008 and decided to go for malawi cichlids. Very nice looking fish and fascinating to watch.
  I have a plain black background with a blue light at the rear and white at the front. kept it simple with very few plants but could maybe do with rearanging the slate and getting some that is more chunky than the thin slate in there now. although there are plenty of hiding places created for them and they seem to be fine with it.
  In there are 2 aurotas, 4 yellow labs, 2 zebra, 2 red fin, 2 albino ? and 1 synodontis catfish.

Very nice, I would stack your slate and create caves that reach halfway up the tank. The albino zebras get fairly large, they will eventually have to be removed from this size of tank. Love that gravel!
