Haha! Thanks Greg. I originally wrote it up for my post on the 180 build in DIY.

Just cut and paste from there and then added to it what's in my other tanks.

I did take a while though!

Im sitting with 6 Malawi Eye Biters (3 Albino, 3 regular with 3 OB on the way), 5 Neolamprologus leleupi (Fire Crackers), 2 Lepidiolamprologus Kendalii, 5 Black Calvus, and 1 Goldhead Compressicep.

So I got the OB's and I was a little disappointed. I knew they would be hybrids but some didn't even look like they had any Malawi Eyey Biters in them. I snaged 5 that had the most Eye Biter characteristics. I hope to breed them with my other Eye Biters and see what I can get.
