    Looks nice. A little cloudy though.
    What is that white tube for? Is it airline tubing, like for a bubbler? If it is there are pet stores that sell airline tubing disguised as a plant. It looks really good in our oscar tank.

    Wait! Is that an Oscar and an African Cichlid....together....in one tank?! Along with a few smaller fish?
    Keep a very VERY close eye on those guys! The oscar will quickly out grow the tank and he and the AC will probably have a few unpleasant battles. And the smaller fish are in danger of either being eaten of just killed.

    every now and then i see the oscar give the AC a little chase but he is too slow and cant even get close, and the oscar doesnt even pay any attention to the barbs.

    and actually the LFS store has adult tiger oscar and adult same strain of AC (electric blue hap) in the same tank as well

    You do know that ACs are far more territorial than Oscars and that an oscars soft scales (Thus the name Velvet cichlid) are no match for an ACs powerful jaws? And just because they pay no mind to the barbs for now doesnt mean they wont look at them as a snack later. Barbs are far less aggressive and these two are. Though ACs are far more aggressive than oscars. Even small ACs can kill a full grown oscar.
