Mbuna tank suggestions...

Question
Hi, I am a fish lover. Im getting a 75 gallon tank...I know I want mbunas...(my tapwater ph is already 8.2...)..I kinda want to stick with electric yellows...I am getting darker slabs of rock, and as a novice cichlid dude, I would like to know what would look nice...Thanks!

Answer
Hi Jacob,
  Probably the best thing are rounded "boulder" type rocks such that when you make a pile of them (be VERY careful putting them in the tank) there are lots of spaces in between them for the fish to go in and out of. That is what they really want.  Put the boulders in first before the gravel, then put the gravel in. Otherwise, the fish will dig the gravel out from under the boulders leading to a collapse.
