Hello

Seems like I would bring this thread back to life. The tank is made over again, instead of the background as there was in the tank, I have custom-made 4 large modules from Back to Nature.
Hope you liked it

That tank caused me sleepless nights the first time I saw pictures of it - I can't figure out how to remodel my basement so it will fit one like it! Absolutely amazing, and simply a dream setup. What's the current stocking list?

The ventralis are a very nice choice :)

What are the dimensions of the tank?

Beautiful pictures of the fish and the tank, do you have a video?

Very cool! Probably not too many people have successfully kept Tropheus with the rest of the fish on your stocking list, but I guess it goes to show again that unusually large tanks can allow for unusual stocking combinations!

If you don't mind a few more questions, how large is your group of Tropheus? Were they put together with the other fish as juveniles or adults? And last but not least, what are you feeding?

You should ask Julemanden for a video camera - we'll all put in a good word for you :lol:

Beautiful tank and fish! Your aquascaping would make any public aquarium jealous.

Hello Jesper,

First of all, I admire a lot your new aquarium : It is a perfection!!
I bought also a BTN malawi background and 6 modules to build a new tank, but I was wondering which module is the one on the top of you aquarium, upside down on the first pictures when you were building up your new tank. Is this Module M ? What are the other modules you can suggest me, that are deep shaped enough to use them upside down just below the surface to construct caves?

Thank you and best regards.
