hope you enjoyed

P.S yes there is an algea problem, we just recently got a pleco big enough to hold his own and hes working his way through it slowly.

yes the plants are messy, the ciclids have fun knocking them ALL OVER THE PLACE, i have given up straigting them out till each weekly water change.

and its too bad i couldnt find any maingano fry to show you guys, i guess they where tucked in for the night.

I like the colours you have in the tank, make sit look natural.
