here's my dominant tret and lelelupi these are my 3 black calvus juli marlieri & Co. feeding time - 2 trets and a calvus enjoy lol, i know the photo quality needs a lot of improvement but still...its all i can afford at the moment...

hey :) its been set up for about 4 months now. :) i know that trets are quite aggressive when they mature, but we'll see how it goes, if it gets nasty i'll remove 2 of them from the tank and leave just one. the biggest (and most dominant one) is about 2-3 inches long. still halfway to its full...

hey ppl recently i set up a tanganyikan tank. i've put a photo to show u my setup.. feel free to give any suggestions :D the tank is 60g and its stocked with 3 lelelupi 3 treocephalus 3 black calvus 2 juli marlieri 5 nerite snails here's the rockwork

do tanganyikan cichlids also tip over rocks? i have trets and calvus right now. I'm asking because i have read that tanganyikans have a more peaceful temperament when compared to malawis. dont know if this applies for sand digging as well

wow great tank! beautiful looking fish :)

sorry i forgot to tell you the size, it's a 60gal tank.

i would like to introduce a pair of lamprologus tretocephalus in a Tanganyikan community tank with julies, lelelupi and calvus. do you think that there would be problems of aggression once they mature? TIA!

I'm a bit worried that sand substrate would eventually become covered in algae after some time due to lack of oxygen in it. i know i should move it a bit in order to pass water through it sometimes but i am concerned about the parts which i wont be able to reach, like under the rocks... how...

thanks for pointing out the aggression of the brichardi, i'll look into the cyps instead then.

i've taken a bit of a break from posting cos i was getting too confused as to what i will fill my 60 gal tank with and i think i confused you guys as well lol. i am now determined and focused on Tanganyikans as the water i have is quite alkaline and hard and it is best for african cichlids. i am...

i read that you shouldn't put only one fish with a school that was already introduced beforehand as it may not be accepted by the others and may die due to stress. According to what i read, your plan is good although it will take some time to put a whole school together. if you put more than...

hi i still need to buy the lighting for my 60 gal tank. what would you recommend? i was thinking of introducing some not so demanding plants into my tank, hopefully soem which can go without Co2 as i read that it could be done succefully. What wattage should i use for this? however, i would...

i am still in the stage of considering what to keep... today i tested the tank and it is finally cycled, will give it some more days to make sure... i'm trying my best not to make mistakes in my stocking list. i am focusing mainly on a community tank with its main focus on GBRs. with them i...

hi, i heard that pakistani loaches have a tendency of being fin nibbers. is this true? I was considering them cos they wont grow as large as the clown loaches but now i'm a bit afraid :S

i have the same problem... :( i just got ready cycling my tank, however i dont have enough money to buy the lighting for the tank. So i decided to leave the fish for my next pay, which is approximately in 3 and a half weeks. do you think the fish fill survive without a light source except...
