I don't know what people see in Africans, but that is just me.

Africans are my favorite fish. Living in the country with a well and the water coming out of the tap with a ph of over 8 and being like liquid rock, it is perfect for the Africans

[LizStreithorst]

If I had liquid rock I'd breed Rainbow Fish.  I don't care much for the look of Africans.  Donno why.

I like Africans a lot. It's that rock work that is a PITA for me. My water here is on the soft side so I am not a good candidate for them anymore.

They are very active and their colors pop given the right conditions. My water in Illinois was just right for them.

I had beautiful, all male Africans...Haps and Peacocks.  My husband, like Liz, didn't like them either. He said they look like regular local lake fish except for their color.

I've kept mbunas for a while several times. I love their behaviors. Mouth brooding relieves the aquarist of the effort of caring for newly hatched fry. I put UG filter plates under the rock so that when they fell over they wouldn't crack the glass. They are a great fish to put in a classroom tank. I used crushed coral for the substrate for our soft water here. Also, placed a cuttlefish bone in the filter for a little more hardness. I used Java ferns tied or glued onto rocks because the fish seem to not feed on them too much. And when people came to see my 100g setup, many non-aquarists thought I had a salt reef tank sitting in front of them! If I can locat a phot of the tank I'll post it.

[LizStreithorst]

I'd like to see it.

[Mugwump]

..me too, sounds like a nice setup...
