          Been cutting my lights back to lessen the growth on the glass. They can still graze some and I don't have to scrape the glass as much. Plus, I just removed the red fins so hopefully more to graze for the trophs and more action with the females for my guys.

          Yep, posting junky tonight foo.

            yeah that scraping the glass is not cool!

            Since I moved all the petros I had out, algae went nuts in just a few days.

                Mike,

                That's what I been told him. He needs to host a tour. Next time I hope we can hit the SW side. Just Peter and the Geeks will make it worth it.

                        Videos are cool for the tropheus brichardi. For some reason, they all school tighter than anything other sp. of tropheus.

                        The namansi I have, are the second colony of bricardi I had, and they school as tight if not tighter then the ulwiles when I had those.

                        The mtoto seen to school really tight also. When I saw the original colony of 70-80 strong they swam really close together and back and froth at Mike's. Tighter than in the video posted by Peter.

                        Don't know if they lost this character because most are f1, but I think it's because they are just small. They should school just as tight when are all full grown.

                            You are correct about how tight they school, especially after I added the Vortech. My rainbows variants dont have anything on them regarding schooling.

                              Both of my vortechs were at the lowest setting during that video. I just did a water change and they were shaking like crazy, but with so much current I think it was impacting their mojo.
