Finally, the African cichlid tank gets set up for real! This is one of the builds that I am most excited for in the fish room since it's been my dream to set up an african cichlid (mbuna) tank.

Love how the Cichlid tank turned out, the color tone of those rocks goes perfectly with the sand and the black background really makes it all pop. I think some blue Mbuna Cichlids would go really great with the yellow ones you are going to put in. The fish room is looking great!

Hi Ryo! I had a similar setup for my Pseudomugil Luminatus, but I only had one male and two females. The tank was also a bit smaller and I basically covered the top with spawning mops. They were quite… prolific. ;)

I think rusty cichlids are a really cool fish that may work well with the yellow labs, but I am not too familiar with the african cichlids. I love the hardscape and the sand looks very natural. Looking forward to the updates. Take care.

For the tanks that are too close together for individual lids why not make one of your usual hinged poly carbonate lids long enough to cover them all end to end (it would be supported by clips on the outside edges of the two end tanks and supported in the middle by the edges that are close together) … them simply cut the poly sheet, between the tanks, from front to back as far as the hinge so each tank has a hinged lid that can be opened up individually (behind the hinges, I.e. from the back of the tanks to the front of the hinges the sheet will remain in one continuous sheet for stability). Seems much easier than fitting ugly braces to them all.

There's not much point fussing about rock hard scapes for African Cichlids because they will dig around and move the rocks. Also, you'll want to shift the rocks when you clean so the fish have some variety to their habitat. This will keep them amused and active and avoid them becoming too territorial.
