Here are a couple of pics of my 75 gallon tank.

Very nice, Gina. I like it! You have some cool-looking rocks in there.

Gina, I really like your aquascaping -- looks like a very natural biotope.
Are the plants live or plastic?
Looks like you have juvenile Malawi Cichlids in there -- having them grow up together definitely raises the odds of a better tank climate later once they're mature.
Thanks for sharing these pics! It's great to have you here at Cichlid Haven!

Hey Don, this is my sister's tank and yes...
1) They are mostly Mbuna juvies with a some full grown peacocks and some
Victorian haps.
2) Plants are fake.
Nice pictures; very clear pics!
Now try your hand at fish only.
Please post up a pic of your Carolinae peacock; that is one beautiful fish!

Thanks Aura! I've only purchased 3 or 4 rocks. The rest my dad found in the woods. He's a "Grizzly Adams" kind of guy.
Thanks Don! The plants are plastic. They are actually left overs from my tropical tank. I didn't realize I was going for the natural biotope look, but hey I guess it works! lol I just was going the cheap route and using stuff I like. Yes, I would agree with your tank climate theory. So far, everyone seems very happy.

Thanks brother! I worked on the Caroline peacock pics last night without much success. I have a few ok shots, but none doing him justice. Also, I want to upload my mystery guy (you know the one). I think he is actually my favorite. Can I enter him in the photo contest with different pics showing his multipersonalities or is there a limit on one per fish?

My dad is the same way. He is always finding rocks and bringing them over to see if I can use them. He's found some really nice ones along the coast that I use in fry tanks.
Unless the rules have changed recently, you can enter up to three photos in the contest. It doesn't specify if they have to be three different fish. Looking forward to seeing some of them.

Aura is correct as usual!
Three pics of any fish, even the same fish, if you want!
They cannot have been posted anywhere on the site prior
to that month's photo contest.
Just read the rules and they will give you further info!

Welcome to CH, Gina! Your tank looks great, and we'll be anxiously awaiting shots of the fish!

Thanks, Kim. I will be working on that real soon.
