This is a tank with a few tanganyikans and various dither fish (tiger barbs, kerrys danios, zebra danios, silver shark) oh and a nice piece of timber...

None of the cichlids trouble my plants. Every now and again my L104s get a taste for the echinodorus though they dont do to much damage if I give them plenty of veggies.

Cheers
