What is Going on in the Fish Room?? (Major Changes)
Today’s video is a full update on my cichlid tanks! I unboxed 30 new cichlids and a mystery inhabitant in the 40 gallon tank towards the end of the video. I also set up that tank to be like new with a completely new scape. Let me know what you think of the new setup!

Mbuna cichlids are from Lake Malawi, and they prefer plenty of rockwork to swim in and around. They would eat/destroy any live plants, so that’s why it’s purely a rock scape here. They are extremely active cichlids, and they can be aggressive. Stocking mbuna in high numbers is one strategy to mitigating aggression with this species.
I also tried out a new beautiful 3D background from Aqua Decor. Couldn’t be happier with the look of the background and rocks. It really brings the tank to life (and also hides heaters/intakes!)
