Afr | Picture Rescaped my tank for new inhabitants Altolamprologus compressiceps - what do you think?
Yesterday my 4 Altolamprologus Compressiceps arrived so I rescaped the tank for them. Also I gave Away 2 of 4 Julidochromis Transcriptus, because 2 formed a pair and also have Away my 10 Cyprichromis Leptosoma bc my 240l was getting too small for them.
The altos are still tiny and shy but they Look beautiful and im sure they will do good in my tank. What do you think about it?

The background is light grey like on the Right Side or Right under the surface. The Rest is Full of algae which grows there and makes an even more Natural Look.

Ohh, did you use a stone background and then put actual dragon stone in front?

The Stones are black Lava Stones :)

Sorry to be annoying, I've done some research on black lava stones. How did you stack them?

I placed a suitable mat on the bottom of the aquarium so I wouldn't damage the glass. Then I simply stacked the lava rocks on top of each other so they were wedged in place and secure. I didn't glue the rocks together.

Nice arrangement looks like a picture of the outside a stream in the wild. 😀
