Looks great - lots of color and action!...although I'm not sure that mixing in acaras and angels is such a good idea...

Calling this a Malawi tank is not doing it justice...

Waaaay too many (different) fish. The only advantage I can see is that you have no agression whatsoever in a tank this full. The fish can hardly move :(

How do you manage to keep the water in good condition? Do you refresh massive loads of water daily?

I'd like to see the same tank in 1 or 2 years...
Wich species will be still leaving.
For me that's a nice tank in a petshop. No more.

I have to agree with some of the other posters, it is a much too crowded tank for my preference. I'm still trying to figure out how those angels are alive in that tank. Have you considered adding more hiding spots for the fish?

What do you use for filtration on that bioload?
