.....Ok so this is the 3rd attempt at this. The first time, the entire post was done except for embedding the video, and my wonderful daughter was nice enough to press the power button on the side of the laptop while trying to get my attention. I gave up and left to go to the store, aggravated and disgusted. When I came back there was my laptop sitting on the floor with juice spilled on it and 50% of the keys scattered on the floor. My wife was getting ready for a family get together this evening, and apparently thought Charlee was watching tv in the living room. After spending a solid hour reinstalling the keys that were not broken, I had a somewhat usable keyboard. So I retyped the whole post only for my palm to hit one of the used to be key buttons and deleting the whole post once again. SO here it goes again......


Here is my new 125 all male mbuna tank. The stock is comprised of all juvies, alot of them have not yet colored up. Many of you will recognize the tank from my previous post that I was asking for help and opinions. Its all done now. I decided to go with the tunnels and the fish love them. I have had only good luck with all male tanks but I am well aware that they are hit and miss, and when they miss they can be a death machine. Hopefully all goes well. I will keep you guys posted. I hope to ultimately have 25-30 mbuna in there. Please excuse the crappy iPhone vid. I tried taking pics with my wifes expensive camera and I suck.
Thanks again for all the advice and help. I was going to do pics but failed miserably at photography so I settled for a video. Well here you go. Let me know what you think

Tank:

Glass 125, substrate is white quartzite, 2 fx5's, 2 korelia 850's, 350 watt heater, granite, PVC tunnels

Pseudotropheus flaus Chinyankwazi

The rock formation is stunning! I like that instead of caves, you created corridors for the fish. Very cool.
