That is alot of effort for not much of a change... if I upgrade I'm gonna UPGRADE. For those that helped me move the 200, they know how much of a pain if was to get it up to the second floor. I was thinking around 470.

any ectodus luck?

Not since I removed the calvus from the tank. I recently rescaped the tank... and it takes quite a while for these guys to settle down. Only now did one of the males start to dig a pit again. It was rough to watch the calvus pick up the ectodus eggs and eat them.

I don't think he'll be into them for very long... he never is. Whenever he needs to get rid of his furcifer/foai for something else, I'll have a tank ready.

I've actually been thinking about it. I'll let you know once I upgrade.

470g? How the heck you gonna get that monster upstairs? Crane?

[Delock]

You putting this upstairs?

[rrocket2002]

Well, if he keeps it downstairs...it will have to double as a waterbed. :)

well i'm out of town that day

Due to health, I can't help move but I'll find some Pom Poms at the Dollar store and cheer those who will be. I will also have some cards for my Orthopedic and Physical Therapist handy.

A bigger tank is still a ways away.

Update. I temporarily housed some Telemats in with the tricotis. Not a good decision. Although nobody got injured, Most of the male tricotis are now missing their trailers. Oh well... another 6 months for them to grow back. My female benthos hold on a semi- frequent basis - just not to term.

Current inhabitants:
1M/1F BBN
6M/6F Benthochromis tricoti
5M/4F Paracyprichromis nigripinnis
4M/8F Ectodus descampsii

I think I'm going to move the Ectodus into my other tang tank. There was more breeding behavior when they were housed with cyps.

Sorry to hear that Tim! Tricoti's are awesome!

[eklikewhoa]

I really regret letting those paracyps get eaten....
