215 Tanganyikan Journal

Well,  somehow I ended up with this in the guest bedroom...


I thought about what substrate I wanted to fill it with...


And how to decorate the tank...

Re: 215 Tanganyikan Journal

Then I thought about the fish I wanted to put in the tank:

Alot of Cyprichromis leptosoma "Kitumba"
1M/1F Julidochromis transcriptus "Burundi"
1M/1F Eretmodus cyanosticus
1M/1F Telematochromis sp. "Temporalis Shell"


What a coincidence... I already have all of these fish in other tanks!

Mouthbrooders - the cyps are maternal while the erets are biparental.

nice tank stand and canopy, good choice on the cyprichromis kitumba they are the best looking of the leptosoma

Thank you, I believe it was your pics posted in the HFB gallery that -at least in part - originally got me nto Cyprichromis

I appreciate the kind words  J-WS6, Jeebus, EaRtHeAtEr, and Jose
