tropheus/petros do you recommend keeping?

[fishfanatic]

that is hilarious. I think that fish was the Antichrist. making all things black night for saving us. honorable mention goes out to skittles

[fishfanatic]

Fish do have character. Esp. Cichlids of any sort

My wife saw of pic of Famula adults. she thinks they are gorgeous. I wouldn't have figured it. Maybe I need to buy some.
Still would go with trews and moshi

Andrew_B has 17 for sale right now for $80. I was gong to pull the trigger on the deal but I have 150 peacocks to rehouse and I wanted to add a larger tank (180 or 210) to ensure survivability. I like them as well as the trewavasae, although I think they are more aggressive. I am basing this only on videos seen on youtube. If you don't get them, don't sweat it. Moganman says they are available from Old World Exotics for $7 each!

[black_knight]

I'm gonna have to be super selective because my wife is only allowing 1 big tank

[fishfanatic]

It took some time but I convinced my wife that "we" needed another large tank, but I will be parting out my 10 and 20 gallon long.

Moganman is working on getting me Trews

[fishfanatic]

That's awesome. How many are you going to secure? I would at do 20 or more. How much are they going to run you?

[black_knight]

He referred me to someone, I had spoken to about them before. I PM you a message on what he quoted me. It's a tough decision. I also contacted the other guy about the Famula. I'm think about it, but my wife is arguing about me getting a tank bigger than 120 gallons because of space. If I'm gonna go with 2 types of Petros and my cherry spots, I'm gonna need need at least 150 or 180gal. Though anything bigger would probably be too wide for me to pass by the foot of my bed. My wife choose big ars furniture. Our bed is 13 feet in length due to a monster head and foot board.

Get with Mastiffman about Trews. He breeds them

[black_knight]

That's who I'm talking to. Trouble is convincing the wifey on tank space:aua:

[SunnyHouTX]

I have no idea how you conceded to a 13ft bed... Nut up bruh

[black_knight]

I exaggerate, it's just under 12.5 ft. It's a sleigh bed that has edges that curve over about 3ft wide for head and foot board. Over 20 years ago I worked as a mover. I hired movers for this monstrosity. This was moved in pieces, 3 ppl to move the head board and the foot board took 2 ppl. It wasn't so big looking when I use to have a 10 ft long 400 gallon next to it. My new master bedroom dimensions are slightly smaller than the old one, with more windows and doors, so there is less tank space. If I get a 6ft long tank our armour/TV cabinet will be pressed up to a window.

LOL, still. Sleigh bed....
