My aquarium - updated with Fish pics

Here are some images of my DAS 180g RR aquarium. It's set up as a mixed African Cichlid aquarium.

This is how it looked when I first brought it home, with the fish it came with:


Pretty cloudy, the previous owner didn't clean it much. That was a week ago Saturday.

I've gotten rid of most of the fish, and have re-stocked it. Here's how it looks today:



It looks pretty sparce, as all of the fish are juveniles. The stock is:

6 F1 Karema Gibberosa
5 Yellow Labs
2 Eureka Red Peacocks
1 OB Peacock... I wanted to get rid of him, but the wife likes him...
1 Juli. Transcriptus
1 Juli. Marlieri
1 Syn. Petricola
1 Syn. Eupterus
2 LG Sailfin Plecos

I'm still planning on putting some Yellow Blaze in there, and wouldn't mind something with some green in it like Xmas Fulu or similar.


Oh, dimensions on the tank:

60" x 30" x 30". It stands right around 5' 7" tall, and the 'canopy' is actually an integral part of the tank... I have to use the step stool in the picture, or a ladder, to service this thing.... And I'm 6' 1".







So cute when they are little!

The only other tank is the turtle tank, 46g Bowfront.

We currently don't have the space in our present house for anything else. I was into Africans back in the 80's and early 90's, and had a WC Burundi breeding group back then, but we ended up moving from TX to KS, and I couldn't bring my tanks and fish with me, back in '95. So I'm actually just starting to get back into the hobby.

Vey Nice!!

Very cool. Welcome back and if there is anything you need please let me know.

Nice job !!!

very nice!

very nice !!!

Looks nice.

Love the tank, your decor looks nice too.

Looks awesome!!!

I've added some pictures to the initial post, of the fish.

The fish look great. The more I see yellow labs the more Im considering doing a tank with them.

I think they make an awesome contrasting color to Fronts, I've always kept Yellows with Frontosa, they just seem to make each other's colors 'pop'.

They definitely do look good together. I was thinking about doing a tank with labs and maingano because I really like the yellow and blue contrast. Sorry to go off topic on your thread lol.
