I'm still doing my research on the rift lake cichlids., Majority of the african cichlid my lfs has is Malawi (mbuna). Apparently thats the most common african cichlid in this area, beside a few south american and american variety.
But I want to get away from the common cichlid in this area, So I'm thinking about Lake Tanganyika or Lake Victoria. The problem I see here is, I know one of these lake, the price of the particuliar cichlids is out of my price range, I think it's Victoria if I'm not mistaken.
The problem I'm having is the aquascaping of the tank, I know malawi (mbuna) is sand substrate with rock formation. So what type of aquascaping would need to be done for Tanganyika Cichlid and Victorian Cichlids. If anyone knows that could be helpful please let me know. Or if you know links to aquascaping for these type of tanks that could be useful also.
So far everything I been reading dealt more to Malawi (Mbuna) cichlids than the other lake aquascaping.
