    Default African Tank take #2

    I set my African tank up about 5 months ago and went with tufa rock. I really liked the look of it but got bored of it.

    I found a great river out by Squamish that had some nice rock in and by it. So a couple trips later I got enough to switch my tank over.

    I love the new look, and the fish seem to as well!

    wow looks so good! i agree though it looked good before but i love it now. It looks soo much better, i think its the squared edges on the rocks for some reason they catch your eye more and really add levels!

    i agree....i liked the tufa rock, but i like the new rocks more. i think it's the contrast too between the rocks and the sand. looks good!!

    Like the newer look...agree that the square edges of the river rock make the look. Nice!

    Thanks guys...

    I hope to find a bit more rock and maybe some more interesting shapes and colors to add to it.

    I think it really mimics the real surroundings these guys would have lived in..

    These are my guys..





    Or most of them..such a pain to take pics of.
