Hey guys :)
Just got my multi set up all finished :) it's looking great !

They're loving it & have formed 2 little colonies either side of the centre coral piece :)
(The way I set it up & hoped for)

40kg of white playsand in a standard 4 footer, painted the background black & wallah!
:) sorry for the bad quality (phone camera) hope you enjoy :)

Thanks mate :)

I tried to set it up like 2 colonies separate from each other & can't wait for them to start breeding.

Yeah I agree, I love the attitude on them & love the fact they are the smallest cichlid in the world, perfect for shell life :) hahaha :)

Thanks bro & you're welcome!

If you want to breed them yes, if you just want a mixed tang tank grab some cyprochromis jumbo, Vebas had some stunners!
