Ok people, nothing spectacular here, but I finally obtained an extension cord for my web cam, sufficient to take some pictures of my tank. I'll explain some of the things you'll see in these pics. The fish with stripes is the "texacon" cyanoguttatus/nigrofasciatus hybrid. The greyish texas-like fish is the Herichthys "Rio Salto" male. His color is highly variable, from green to bright white/jet black. The yellow mbuna are male Pseudotropheus msobo, the black and "electric blue" splotched mbuna is the dominant male msobo. The electric blue doesn't show up well in these pics, unfortunately.
Tell me what you think!

Yeah, it's about time huh?!

The mbunas will get their own tank, as will the Rio Saltos, and the jewel... I think I'm going to do a Hemichromis tank, maybe with some Steatocranus in there as well.
