Re: Got my fish home!!!

Hows everyone's order doing? Updated pictures?

It's been some time now since they were taken home so I'm sure they have settled in and colored up nicely by now.

Re: Got my fish home!!!

The yellow nkonde's have not done well for me, I've lost 8 of them in the past 2 weeks. The kachese are doing much better, I have not lost any of them.

Some of the yellow's would not eat from the first day I got them home, then the problems I had with my new 210 and keeping it at a consistant temp may have led to other problems for them.

The kachese are in the same tank I kept the Red Chimba's at work, and they too seem to thrive in the "black tank" as I call it, it has black substrate and the back is painted black.

On a seperate note, I lost all but one of my Ujiji's that I bought from Geoff back in September. I don't believe it was bloat, but I'm not sure. The entire colony went quickly.

Re: Got my fish home!!!

Lost 1 moop, but he got his arse kicked by the largest male in the tank.  Otherwise - everyone else is doing great.

All petros are doing well in the 3 tanks they are in.

and  - just for you EK - there is at least 1 female murago holding right now.

Re: Got my fish home!!!

I added some more holey rock to the tank yesterday in the hopes of having some of my kachese fry survive. I have decided to let them release naturally. I will post some pics if I have have success.

J-WS6, pics is a must! You still have that lone male by himself?

DD, Great to hear about my future colony in the making! I might be starting up the tank I got for them soon....really excited about the muragos and the rockscape I have planned for it. How many adults total do you have...if I remember correctly you got two groups from separate sources.
