Haha. It's all good. I figured that's what you meant.

And you're sure they're sumbu dwarf?

Where at in Ohio?

I'm guessing if they're that hard to find, they can't be cheap.

Wow. I had no idea they were that rare.

Thanks for the reply. I thought that seemed kind of small. I'd really like to get my hands on some of the sumbu dwarfs, but I can't seem to find those anywhere.

Hey everyone. I just today sold off all of my julidochromis marlieri and now I have a 29 gallon tank sitting empty. I've been reading up on calvus quite a bit and am seeing a lot of people saying that a pair or trio (1 male) would be fine in a 29. Anyone tried this? Or agree/disagree ?

I highly recommend them! I've always liked "oddball" fish, and they definitely fit that description. I can't wait to get 5 or 6 more and really have a good school of them.

That's a good idea! I've seen them before but didn't even think about them when I set the tank up. I know my LFS has them.

Are those the ones that are transparent?

There were supposed to be more. Had some DOAs when I ordered them. I'm waiting for the replacements to arrive.

Might not be a bad idea. Probably have to get a few and see how they do with the tetras. With them being blind, they seem to accidentally bite other fish every now and then when they're trying to find food. Nothing severe, but could probably do some damage to a shrimp.

I appreciate all the suggestions. I have stocked it, but I am moving 3/4 of the fish out of it next week, which will leave me with 6 cave tetras, 3 kuhli loaches, and a bristlenose pleco. I'm thinking if I do anything, it'll be adding more of the cave tetras. Unless that is, I can get a...

hooray!!!

I've got a black bristlenose Pleco in there. Wouldn't make for a very good picture with the black gravel.

My LFS ordered them for me. Charged me $1.75 apiece! Way cheaper than online. I'm already having visions of a cave setup full of these guys.

Here's the best I could do. The little boogers never sit still!

That's awesome. When I fed the other fish an hour ago, they stuck their heads out like they were trying to muster up the courage to come out. Hopefully they will tomorrow!

I sure hope so. They certainly are a neat looking little fish. I've heard that they're really comical to watch so I can't wait for them to get settled in.

Yeah, they're in there. They're really small and aren't coming out during the day yet. The shark is a menace to everyone else so I'm hoping once I move him out tomorrow they'll start coming out more.

It really is. I didn't think it would be, but when I turn the red LEDs on at night, it does look pretty cool.

Here it is! Went with the cave tetras. Maybe my new favorite! Got a school of 6 right now. I'm giving the shark, cories, and Pleco to a friend of mine tomorrow so I can make room for more of the tetras.

I've actually got 5 kuhlis being shipped to me on Monday, so they're a lock. Might make for some interesting pics once it's all done.

I at least have to set it up for awhile so they can see it. But we're definitely going to have a discussion before Christmas next year!

I sure will. I think I'm gonna call it the Gawdy Tank. Haha
