Tank setup for Cyathopharynx Foai Kigoma

[SunnyHouTX]

Your thoughts on this setup please:



Filtration: 2x 2217 or 1x 2260, wet/dry with 400GPH return
Substrate: PFS
Rocks: limestone
Powerhead: Koralia Evo 1400 on a timer

Damn...you puttin 1000 fish in there? All that filtration

[SunnyHouTX]

Nope, just 10 Foai and 11 juvie cyps

2x 2217 OR 1x 2260

[aggrocichlidfan]

Ohhhh ok I misread I was about to say

Can't wait to see this one.

Foai and ventralis are fish that have really caught my attention.

You seen Tim's tank? Highly doable!

[SunnyHouTX]

Yeah, but Tim is the guru. This is my feeble attempt at it and I'm not sure if I need to change anything before fish go in later this week.

[eklikewhoa]

It looks fine to me, what ratio are you getting? I prefer the 2260 over the 2217s but that's me.

Tim would be better at any questions since he's the long time featherfin/sandsifter guy.

+1... less tubes in the tank looks better!!

[SunnyHouTX]

Yeah, I think I'll put the 2260 in. It's hooked up to my 125 right now so it's already seeded and ready to go.

How about the rockscape?

I've got 10, unsure of ratio.

Pimp fish collection alert!

[SunnyHouTX]

Thanks. Just got lucky in getting cjvo2's livestock, Thai. My first T. Moliro came from him too last August.

[myjohnson]

Lol, and he acts up too.

I want his L134 colony!

[SunnyHouTX]

He might sell if you keep bugging him lol. You already got his L046.

Looks nice. I'd do a 2260/ 2217 for bio. 2260 by itself is fine though. Keep as much open sand as you can. Everything will be fine until male s start coloring up. I've found Foai to be less aggressive than ventralis. You'll eventually need a bigger barrier to block the line of sight of the males.
