Description – My African Malawi Cichlid tank 320l custom tank in which I’ve built into a partition wall so it can be viewed both sides, my 3 & 5 year old daughters love it and are fascinated! 34 mixed haps, peacocks, mbunas and 2 synodontis ornatipinnis. love it!

My advise is that its not daunting, especially with this being my first cichlid tank, keep up the water changes, 40% water change every 5-7 days, feed 1-2 times a day, and sit back and enjoy (no chemicals or salt)!
