Pretty nice SA Cichlid tank.
I would have stocked it with wild Discus because they are just my favorites but it is an outstanding tank.
I recently added 10 juvenile Mesonauta acora to my 125 gal Nhamunda Blue Discus tank because I had a chance to get a little bit less common Mesonauta sp and I have been removing Blue Discus pairs to their own breeding tanks so I needed something else to enjoy for awhile. Once all the wild Blues have all been moved out they will be replaced with wild Red Spotted Green Discus.
I'm trying to get back to breeding wild Discus again. I began breeding wild Discus long before I ever kept any hybrids.
You have some lovely and less commonly kept Cichlid species. The plecos are also very nice.

Hi Gert,

really nice tank!
en dan nu even in het nederlands;-) ik vind dat je een fantastisch aquarium hebt, heel erg mooi. ik start nu ook weer een bak op, wel van wat bescheidener formaat. wat ik graag wilde vragen is.. wat voor zand heb je gebruikt? en blijft je water helder/ geen zwarte plekken erin? mooi visbestand trouwens ook!
groeten,

tjerk (user alleykat)

WOW! Beautiful tank :thumbsup:
Q) Why are dead fish harder to 'wind up' than live fish?
A) Because dead fish never take the bait! ;)

That's a very nice setup! Neverending views and differing aquascaping. Beautiful and I'm sure your fish love it.
Do your plecs come out alot? I see you hold L134 and L200. I really like both, how do they differ in behaviour and feeding in your tank?
