hope you guys like it:bigsmile::bigsmile::bigsmile::bigsmile::bigsmile:

 

Very nice - what are the specs of the tank?

 

wow .that is one nice looking tank...specs please

 

Mc 1

if you see it in a bigger size those are my fish

specs ???????

 

Specs= Size of the tank - capacity - type of filtration you using etc

 

That tanks looks awesome but for some reason I think I have seen it before maybe on another forum...lol now this is going to bug me

 

specs - specifications
or, spectacles, not applicable though, lol

gareth, i have that same buggy feeling, but probably its just the background that looks familiar?

 

Ditto...

 

this is my 300litre tank
it is a custom built tank 1,2mitres long

45 cm wide 50 cm high and i am using a boyu submersible filter with a flow of 750l/h
and elite jet-flow with aflow of 480L/h
I am thinking of getting a external filter but only when i got the money

fish
5 female caeruleus malawi's
and 2 male caeruleus malawi's

plants
the plants are all fake as i couldn't find any suitable plants for the malaw's that they dont eat
PS.... DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT KIND OF PLANTS CAN GO WITH MALWI'S

other
white gravel, some rocks and a piece of drift wood

the backround is a foam backround that was attached with silicone glue

 

Off the thread's topic.
This is what mine used to look like before the Os.

Any plant will "go" with Malawis as they are plant eaters.
Plant them and watch them "go"

 

It's a really nice looking tank!

 

MC, speak to Kathie, she has a planted Malawi tank

 

@Carping I'm a guy Kathie is my short name as I have a long name. As for plants go for Anubia, Java ferns, Vallis, Amazon swords ect but plant them away from where they like swimming like the left or right to the rear corners. Do the scaping so you get them to play away from the plants cause the will break leaves. Also make a lot of caves for the little ones close to the plants but not big enough for the big ones. Cause the little one need hide away or you loose a lot fast. I used clay pots. Also http://www.tropica.com/default.asp for plant info. Try not have a big flow at the bottom cause little ones wont manage. Get a current in middle of tank so they play in the current, so digging is minimised. This is my 2cents.

 

Oops, sorry, appologies there sir.

 

No problem.

 

(i'm curious as to the long name then?)

 

did you make the background or did you buy it?

 

I think he made it him self.

 

ya i did make it .....jokes
i bought it from sams aquarium in bergvliet
i was suprised that it wasnt too expensive
but i really want to make some caves for my malawi's so i am going to try do that at the end of term after my exams
thanks for all the comments it brings my spirit higher
and makes me want to keep fish even more
(not like i can want to keep fish even more)
