JayWho Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 (edited) I have a 50 gallon tank, doing a tanganyikan setup, running a Rena XP2 canister filter, with a bunch of lava rock that I drilled holes and caves into, and some choice pieces of old live rock that I used to have in a saltwater setup that I boiled and rinsed. I'm using a mix of primarily crushed coral/aragonite and some plain 'ol gravel as substrate. (I'm almost finished a DIY overflow and DIY wet/dry sump (rubbermaids & dollarstore dish scrubbies - about 8gal of water and 4gal of biomedia) that I will be adding to the setup as well once it's finished and I trust it...)I'm still in the tail-end of my cycling, as the tank is new, but I currently have: (from a previous tank - and started my cycling process, so not appropriate for an african cichlid tank, but I'm leaving him anyway) 1 clown loach, 5 giant danios, 4 altolamprologous compressiceps, 3 lelupis and 1 small spotted pleco (not sure what kind - but it's over a year old and is only 2" long - was in a 10 gallon tank prior, so it should have grown a little bit if it were a regular pleco...)I will be adding either some julidochromis marlieri or transcriptus (maybe 4-6), and I'd like to add a pair of frontosa, or if I can find them tretocephalus, as they look similar, but stay smaller, which ultimately will be better for my tank.

DanTheMan Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 Love my cichlids about as much as I love my clown loaches. I have 2-55 gallon tanks with Yellow tail Acei's Musili and Ngara as well as 120g Nimbochromis venustus 4- 30 gallon fry tanks all full. I guess their as happy with me as I am with them.

DanTheMan Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 O.K Now I know I have a problem. Just added a 55g tank with 16 duboisi maswa juveniles. Helllllppppp!!! When will it end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanTheMan Posted December 1, 2013 Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 It hasn't ended yet. Picked up 15 sweet little neolamprologus brichardi, and 6 black calvus. Next on the list Enantiopus kilesa. Running out of room for the tanks. I'm not ready to admit I have a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbunaheckyeah Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 Alright let's see. I've got a 125g with 3 German blue rams, 4 kribensis, 2 red spotted gold severums, 2 red jewel haps, 1auratus, 1 redtail zebra with a strange blue hue to him, 1 tropheus duboisi, and a random not sure if it's a psudotropheous or peacock. Still a inchling might just be a hybrid. 5 bucks at petsmart lol. Just surprised they're not messing with any of the not cichlid tank mates. There are 4 ottociclus cats, 2 redtail zebra loaches, 3 kobatia botia, 2 starlight plecos, a strange copper coloured pleco I think common, and a redtail cactus pleco (L114), and a peacock eel.

As per the thread - Nothin but Tanganyikans. @Jaywho - The sump setup sounds great! and...nice on the Compressiceps. They're kinda like a big Calvus. I kept Julidochromis Transcriptus for a long time. They breed fairly easy and they're nice little fish...like most Tanganyikans, can be fairly aggressive when breeding and move up, down, backwards, etc....like a helicopter. - Lelupi are also a nice little fish. I'm a big fan of Neolamprologus... Edited March 21, 2014 by desol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayWho Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 (edited) My tank is a little mixed now, as I inherited some fish from a friend who's tank was leaking... (see my sig)I love watching the juli's swim (and the lelupis) - forward, backwards, upside-down. It's great. At some point I'll try and get some more and see if they start breeding for me.I am buying a used 75 gallon tank though and will be moving all my non-african fish into it, and keeping the 50 gallon as a pure tang setup. Then I can also put the 2 remaining cyprichromis I have left in with the africans, where they belong. The green terror ate one immediately when I first put them in the 50g.

desol Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 Those Cyprichromis are a nice fish. I saw a fish on this video ( ), foolin with the Zaire Buescheri, and was wondering what it was. Now I know.I actually wanted to keep those this time around, but the tank will be at capacity if/when I get the Buescheri. What sub-species of Cyprichromis do you have?

JayWho Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 I have cyprichromis microlepidotus "bulu pt." that I got from the forums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desol Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 I think that's the very fish in the video I posted above? Correct me if I'm wrong... Another Cyp I really like is the 'Kiriza black'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
