Check this one out, it may be your fish. Cynotilapia afra (Lundu)

Hi, that is my smugmug page and the fish is a Demasoni. They are a great fish but you really need to have at least a dozen of them because any less and they can be pretty aggressive. I currently have 15 Demasoni juvies and the same number of Yellow Labs. They were all added at the same time and...

Well after days of reading up on the differences and peoples options of these two filters, it appears it is six of one - half dozen of the other. Both have pluses and minuses, both are about the same cost here in Canada. I have decided to go with the classic Eheim 2217. Reason being people say...

Maybe you guys in the central interior could start a club and trade and breed fish yourselves and get together for the odd swap meet. Just a thought.

One of my Angels wondering what I am looking at.

Well I procrastinated to long went to buy it today and the fellow sold it two days ago.:(

We'll let you join us if you buy us stuff in the USA and ship it up to us. lol
