Actually have a look into Tanganyikan Eels like the Aethiomastacembelus elipsifer and Mastacembelus plagiostoma. They are stunning specimens and live with Cichlids so they require high PH. Check them out on youtube, a lot of videos to see of them.

Hi I have a 40" long tank and I partitioned it less than 1/3 of the way with a (temporary) glass piece. This was so I could keep the female Acei Cichlid who was holding babies in her mouth. She has let them all out and they are not swimming inside the 1/3 of the tank section. I have a filter and...

Hi. Thanks for your support :) I have left out the thought of shell dwellers. However I am still very interested in the freshwater Tang cichlid species and at the moment I am looking into the mouth brooders (Xenotilapia), a group of Cyprichromis leptosoma and a goby cichlid.

The cyprichromis leptosoma look really nice. Thanks I will definitely consider them as I want something swimming above.

Thanks :)

Thanks I know its tuff in the UK I don't know many freshwater fish suppliers who bring in different fish other than the normal, but I will try at the lfs and see if they can ever get them in stock.

Sorry do they come under Tanganyika cichlids and are they easy to get hold of? I haven't seen any at my lfs.

Thanks. Will it raise the PH like Ocean rock does?

Sorry I didn't look in the description it mentions ERETMODUS. Are these fish easy to get? Thanks

Hi another stunning fish I have seen on here it is gold a little stripey fat goby looking cichlid lol, but truly stunning. It sits down on the sand bed around 27 seconds but its the fish in the video thats stands out the most. You can't miss! Thanks my 90 gallons tanganyika fish tank - YouTube

Hi I find these to be truly stunning fish. I want to know do these come under the mouth brooder tangs? Are they easy to pickup? Thanks A couple of videos. Xenotilapia Papilio Msalaba.MP4 - YouTube xenotilapia papilio - YouTube

Hi as the title mentions, at 50 seconds? Thanks Malawi & Tanganyika aquariums - YouTube

I would prefer them to grow slow but it would be nice starting with a group of juvi's. I don't know what these come under but I really like the Xenotilapia especially the Papilio Msalaba. They look like the mouth brooder tang cichlids I have read about, is that it?

I thought the same so I asked about this on tropical fish forums, and nmonks who seems to be a very knowledgeable on this sort of stuff replied, "Yes, you can keep bogwood in Rift Valley tanks. The wood may try to lower the pH, but provided the carbonate hardness* is sufficiently high (10+...
