Thank you. Soon the whole background will be a sheet of plants. I can not wait! There was an Angelfish, and Apistogramma in those pictures. Perhaps I will snap a shot while feeding & they all come out...DMD123 wrote:I see the planted..... where is the cichlid part?

I could barely see the fish with all those plants in the way.

What size is that tank? So the angel and the apistos get along alright? Or is there no lines of sight with all of those nice plants?

How about a full picture of the tank? Section by section pictures are kinda hard to put together.

It's hard to do so with a 7 foot tank. Here is 3 pictures of me standing back. This tank is 2 foot deep.SiRWesDragon wrote:How about a full picture of the tank? Section by section pictures are kinda hard to put together.
Left side. The background plant has just been transplanted from the other side so it's a bit shaggy...

Right side,

Middle,
Images are not looking very well (iPad) , sorry.... There is an African fern taking over the huge piece of bog wood starting to cover & kill the Fissidens fontanus that's there also. So, I have to move that soon...

Like them too. I was amazed they got 2 foot tall. I've only seen them in shallower tanks...
Just pulled the Fissidens off the bog wood. Made a platform & stuck some 6 inches from the light... If anyone thinks this is TOO CLOSE please chime in!
