Heya;

I have a 100 gallon Malawi tank with a 15 gallon wet-dry:

10 Pseudotropheus sp. Acei Itungi

4 Cyrtocara Moorii

5 Iodotropheus Sprengerae

3 Labidochromis Hongi

Also keep 3 mislabelled juvies in there, how long they will stay depends on temperment, space:

1 nimbochromis venustus

1 cobalt blue zebra

1 metriaclima greshakei

15 Gallon hex tank:

3 Neolamprologus Multifaciatus

I hope to save and raise some fry from my group of Black Tanzanian Acei, maybe have them available next spring here in Calgary.

:drunk:

I have a bunch of peacocks, 2 electric yellows, one that I think is a "temporalis", another one that I think looks similar to a blue dolphin, and a mating pair of Brichardi.

Exciting, eh? Wanna buy em? I'm thinking of ditching the whole system to start over new with a SW. I like inverts! Not sure, though...

Tank is 75 gal. Wupadeedoo.

Not too much for african right now.

Cyphotilapia frontosa 'Kariliani'

Cyphotilapia frontosa 'Kavala'

Enantiopius melanogenys 'Ndole Bay'

Xenotilapia ornatipinnis

Lamprologus brevis

Altolamprologus calvus

Ophthalmotilapia ventralis 'Cape Mpimbwe'

Cyprichromis leptosoma 'Utinta'

Paretroplus kienieri

Schetzochromis stormsii

Saratheradon sp. Mudfeeder

Pelvicachromis taeniatus 'Bandewouri'

Pelvicachromis pulcher 'Green Flame'

No Malawis, just focusing on West Africans and Tanganyikans.

Yes I have two of them. They are in with my Malawi's and never get bothered. Even the smaller Pseudotropheus get chased around but these guys are fine. They show absolutely no aggression. They like to hide in caves and will be hidden anytime you stick your hand in the tank. I highly recommend them.

I have 2 african tanks with 2 grow out tanks as well.

90g with sump has greshakei, acei, socolofi, and yellow labs. (some petricola in there too)

55g with colony of Otopharynx lithobates and a colony pundamilia nyererei "anchor island" (BGK grow out tank too)

Always on the lookout for rare or hard to find africans!
