Yes, they do like to re-decorate.They also like to dig.
I have a 50 gallon tank with some common Melawi Cichlids in them and there are some areas where the gravel has been dug out.
Now I am starting a tank of Tanganyikan Cichlids. Hope they will do as well as the Melawis.

Steve has taken care of the filtration.Besides the 90 gallon tank , there is also a 30 gallon sump. Moreover most of the Tropheus that are arriving are about 1 1/2 ins in size except for a few so they are fairly small and still young.

hope you take plenty of pics.

Teresa, how come the pics you take are nice and big....and the ones steve always takes are so small I need a magnifying glass to see them?
what is he trying to hide?

Steve has alot to hide. Don't you know he has mortal sins that needs to be hidden? Daily confessions to me cannot even eradicate all his sins.
