The Daffodils are back in the picture. Went to check out some Malawi's today and I'm not entirely convinced they're the way to go. Found some Daffs for a decent price, £6 each plus postage, seems like a good deal to me.

Appreciate the input mate, really like the Multi's, but now I'm stuck on the tank setup, any ideas on that?

Not too clued up on them, but same family as brichardi, so loads of rockwork should do the trick. Saw some young 'uns with nice colour coming through, looked pretty sweet.

Still deciding on the rock, probably something similar to what I'd use for brichardi, loads of nooks and crannies for them to hide in.
