Started out with a 40g Breeder with 2 oscars in it

Loved the look of the sand but hated the replacement of impellers it destroyed so often so went to rock

Tank was to small so bought a 130g

Started adding a bit more decoration

Decided to change the substrate for a more natural look when i purchased some nice driftwood
from Scales (now outta business sadly)

Plants were soon destroyed, eaten and dying due to pure lazyness...

Went a little over the top on randomly placed decorations...

Hated the look of the tank so added fake hollow log which jags loved

Removed the log due to mating aggression that caused rehoming of oscars and JD

and finally current setup soon to be torn down upon rehoming of jaguar cichlids for a mixed setup of africans in my 150g

Cool. How are they in terms of aggression compared to johanni?
Click to expand...

I personally havent had the experience of raising johanni's so i couldnt compair aggresion in that case, i'd say they arent near as aggresive as some species for example the Labeotropheus fuelleborni (OB) in the tank is the most aggresive of the bunch but they can hold there own against him.

Thats my main breeding female maingano with the male under her closer to the substrate.

As luck would have it she has a mouth full of eggs this morning =D

Congrats on the spawn.

I got thrown off by the vertical bars, but taking a second look I see the horizontal striping. I had thought that fish was a male and the gray fish to the right was a female.

The first thing it says in its cichlid-forum profile is that it is often confused with M. johanni :) It does sound like a cool fish, pretty, not too big and not too mean.
