Thought I would share some pics of my tank since I haven't done so yet. Full stock list is in my sig. I just added a syno. petricola and 2 juli. dickfeldi (thanks Jayba!), and rearranged all of the rockwork (mostly I removed a lot of it; it was a massive cluttered pile before - this layout also allows for better waterflow), so the water is a touch cloudy still. I'm not sure if it's the new fish or the rearrangement of the rockwork, but the tank seems much more active now, and I've never seen the synodontus so much, even with the lights on (it could also be because of their new "big brother" petricola who is twice the size of the largest lucipinnus... ) Crushed aragonite substrate, two buried pvc pipes, and a mix of dry live rock (from an old saltwater setup) and lava rock with holes drilled in it. A couple other random rocks, a few shells, a piece of driftwood and a giant vallisneria that is slowly melting as various fish nip at it... Filtration is a Rena Filstar XP2, a powerhead running a Hydro-Sponge V, and a second powerhead mostly for water movement as the sponge on the intake is just to provide a little mechanical filtration. 250W submersible heater (forget the brand). Fluorescent lighting; nothing special - it's old and loud and could use replacing. I'll eventually move to LED's just for the power savings. The giant danios never really stay still long enough to take a good pic with an iphone, but you can see them in the full tank shots. (I used them to cycle the tank, since they're cheap and typically hardy fish; I've got nowhere else for them at the moment, so they're staying for now) All the fish are juveniles, except the BN pleco and the petricola. And next time I take pics, I'll at least clean the glass... lol

I was curious if anyone breeds feeder fish for their Africans, and what kind(s)? I've got a 10g with a betta and a dalmation molly. I was thinking of getting a few more female mollies and a male or two, and then potentially having free food for my africans in the form of dalmation molly fry? (specifically my compressiceps, as web info tells me they are fish-eaters) Thoughts? Suggestions?
