Hi, thanks for the comments on the ten footer. Will have to update the photo 'cause it looks better now the plants have grown. The tank below has Malawi's in it, they are all Pseudotrophus demasonis and are all four weeks old. I borrowed a friends female that was holding and once she released them he took the female back. Interesting fish to keep so I can see why you keep these cichlids. Barny.
