F1 Chimba Fry - Tank setup & progression

[muuunkeeyy]

i've had these for 2 days now. picked them up on satuday and they have been eating since yesterday. i feed them NLS grow 3x a day and they eat it all. i just wanted to share some pics of my f1s and wanted to see comments about my tank setup. the rocks are temporary because i had them laying around and threw them in until i had some time to buy bigger ones to actually scape. sorry for low quality pics because the frys are so small and my digital camera's macro sucks.

So are you officially addicted to tropheus yet?

Those sp. red start to breed early man. Expect to have fry by 8 months time.

[muuunkeeyy]

hell yeah..im addicted lol. been doing a lot of research to learn more. im on the trophs forum as well reading. trophs are imo way more interactive than flowerhorns. lol i now see how you guys can hate flowerhorns so much. everyone wants pure fish :)

[myjohnson]

To each this own. I personally don't have problems with FH. I actually like them. Just not more than tropheus and petros.

[kevinly]

[myjohnson]

fry are looking good man. If you got any questons feel free to ask me. Stay on top of your water changes and you will do just fine.

[muuunkeeyy]

waterchanges are not a problem. i usually do them anyway because i get bored lol. thanks for the fry again! and the pleco. ill try my best to take care of them. doing a lot of research to not fail at this first shot at tropheus lol.

[muuunkeeyy]

my fail attempt to aquascape lol..just looks fake to me..

Way better than the first attempt. Try pushing the rocks on the left and right side a little closer together. Use the smaller ones for the foreground and to connect the two piles so to speak.
