This is the tank: 

An aqua-one A510 with rock/terracotta/PVC pipe scenery and a fine black crushed rock substrate to harden the water.

The Fish: 

Pastoolio:

The largest in the tank with a very aggressive temrament. In the wild his diet consists of fry (baby fish).

8-Ball:

A very relaxed fish who is always chilin, has done the most damage to the other fish tho

 LSD:

This fish is the 2IC  (2nd In Charge) and has been taking on the boss lately.  he's started getting bright blue colouring in  his fins lately :)

Tora:

A black and yellow striped  cichlid  that was quite big when i bought her, has pretty erratic behavour and i think it might be  a wild caught fish..

Older Tank Setups: 

New Breeding Tank: 

This is my original tank that i kept Pastoolio in when he was little (nearly 2 years ago now!). I've just set this tank up for breeding cichlids from Lake Tangalia, the males the big one and the female the smaller colourful one. There's also a true shark in there for a target fish to diffuse any aggression between the mating pair. 

A pic of their diet and water conditioners:

Note: I also feed them live brime shrimp and frozen bloodworms whitch aren't in the shot for obvious reasons..
