your tank looks good but I would add some more fish. African cichlids get very territorial and without over crowding them to spread out aggression you can run into a big problem (read that to mean they will kill each other off). We have a hap/peacock tank set-up here and just love these fish. In our tank we have D. compressiceps, lithobates, a. stuartgranti (2 diff locals, males only), and red top kimpura (sp) along with 2 pleco's (i hate cleaning glass, lol). in total we started out with 40 fish in our 90 gallon tank and are now down to 32 (lost 4 fish in the first 2 days due to shipping problems).
I plan to start a new cichlid tank of introduced florida species if I can obtain them. I went to the glades today and in 3 hours we caught 9 different species of cichlids from oscars to some green and red thing that I still haven't been able to identify but would look nice in a large tank. We are going again next thursday so hopefully i can get some pics up to show them off.
