I've started this hobby in 2005 with a second hand aquarium, a community aquarium with fish and everything else. I liked this so much that I bought a new, bigger one in 2007. After that I discovered how much I liked the Malawi cichlids. From now on I will go for keeping only these cichlids, so I'm going to change my aquarium this summer into a real Malawi habitat by putting more rocks in it. At this time there are some rocks in the back, a large piece of wood and plants in the front. I've made some more holes with two flower pots and pvc-tubes. |
