Additional Information This aquascape started out as a place to house some fish and anubias I didn't want to get rid of after a move. Once the fish were back in their intended home I needed to figure out what to do with a 10g tank full of anubias. I wasn't sure exactly what I wanted to do with it at first. One day I was looking through a guide to West African Cichlids and the thought just popped into my head. I went home that night and scrounged around in some boxes and found all the parts I needed for this little piece of Africa. All the plants are either the original immigrants from my old tanks or are cuttings/off shoots of the same. The only thing I didn't already have was the leaf litter, which has been generously provided by the trees in my yard.
