Today's video is a tour of a 600 Gallon Central American cichlid tank from MBL Aquatics. This incredible cichlid aquarium is a Central American biotope, with a wide variety of cichlids, including many rare species.
Mike from MBL Aquatics on Instagram was kind enough to give us a tour of his huge tank, stock list and filtration of this Central American cichlid aquarium. We were also able to give one of our Jack Dempsey Cichlids "Jack Junior" a huge new home in this tank. Make sure you check out MBL Aquatics on Instagram, link is below!
