| Above is my 75 gallon African Rift Lake aquarium. Current stock list is: 3 Psuedotropheus Acei - 1 Male 1 Female 4 Labeotropeus Fulleborni Marmalade OB Cats both Female 1 Pseudotropheus Demasoni 1 Male 1 Labeotropheus Fulleborni Marmalade Cat Female 1 Labeotropheus Fulleborni Male 6 Pseudotropheus Socolofi 1 Male 2 Female 1 Melanochromis Auratus Female 2 Labidochroms Caeralus 1 Male 1 Female 3 Pseudotropheus Albino Zebra 1 Male 2 Female Substrate for the tank is 75 pounds (at least) of crushed coral. This helps buffer the pH of the water, making it more comfortable for the cichlids. Filtration is performed by a Hagan Aquaclear 500. Two airstones are strategically placed on each side with air pumps forcing bubbles through, and airating the tank nicely. A Marineland Visi-Firm Deluxe 250 watt submersible heater keeps the tank at a nice 78 degrees. The mbuna cichlids diet consists of 75% vegetable matter, mostly spirilina flakes. Occasionally, I'll treat them to a fresh peice of romain lettuce or a slice of cucumber. Once a week, they get fresh bloodworms, or other protien. I find this helps them breed more often. |
