What Happened!?!

Re: 100 Gal Tanganyikans

Ditch the fronts......too small of a tank and they will eventually eat most everything else.

Cyprichromis
Enaptiopus
opthalmotilapia
Eretmodus
Julis
Leleupi
Shelldwellers
Elipsifer
Syn. Petricola

Re: 100 Gal Tanganyikans

I have to disagree as long as you keep them well fed there is no reason for them to 'catch' a meal.

Re: 100 Gal Tanganyikans

EK, those are some expensive fish you listed.
maybe i should revise my orignal post.

lower budget Tanganyikan

Re: 100 Gal Tanganyikans

I kept Mobas.....they were well fed on NLS, Krill, Mysis, Spirulina brine but still made a meal out of the Opthalmotilapia they had for tankmates.

Re: 100 Gal Tanganyikans

honkzz...  please dont make a Leleupi, Julie, Brichardi, Cyps, ocellatus -- because my 110 that is going together in Early November is going to be that... and I dont want to be accused of being a copy cat..

hehe :)

Things you can get from me.  

Leleupi -- ask EK what size he got for his friend from me.  Even he was impressed by their size...
I have Brichardi's that I can sell
If you are looking to get some gold Ocellatus I would be interested in getting in on a deal (as long as you got decent sized ones)  http://www.aquabid.com/cgi-bin/aucti...dst&1222650071  -- I will take 1/2 (7) if you are interested in those.  Looking to bring my group up to 12...

edited because I didnt write it well... fixed error

Re: 100 Gal Tanganyikans

The ones from Jesper have to be the prettiest yellow leleupis I have ever seen......if they weren't I would be bashing Jesper about them.  :wink:

Re: 100 Gal Tanganyikans

I dont think i'm keeping shellies with this one. its as good as keeping feeders.  

[eklikewhoa]

Re: 100 Gal Tanganyikans

The shellies will probably have a better chance with fronts then those others you listed......

Re: 100 Gal Tanganyikans

We will see..  I am going to attempt it and see what happens.. If it doesnt work then I am going to move them back in another tank..

Frontosa's/Gibberosa's will eat anything that fits in their mouth. Whether they're hungry or not. :)

[eklikewhoa]

Re: 100 Gal Tanganyikans

.....it doesn't have to fit in their mouth....that's why they have teeth. The Opthalmotilapia I had with my Mobas were about 1/2-1/3 their size and was taken down one by one when the lights went out.

There is a lone survivor that I removed and is now happily alive in a friends 135g.

Re: 100 Gal Tanganyikans

I say donate the entire tank to a small colony of Furcifers. 1 male and as many females as you can get!
