get rid of the malawi's and do a tropheus tank! :headbang2 i think itll be more rewarding! im gonna redo my tropheus tank after i get the 210 complete!
I've been keeping a single medium sized female trop in with my mixed africans, she's been thriving. I paid nine for mine and just added her in as an experiement, I don't know maybe I'm just lucky. I do alternate krill/greens day one day two type feeding. One meal day one, krill (she loves krill), two meals on day 2, greens. Seems to work perfectly. she's in with huge haps and she dosen't seem to even notice them, vise versa.

How are the tetracanthus doing? I was up in the air about a proven pair I saw, until I saw them DOMINATING a 125 w/ all other fish twice there size. They are some of the toughest little bastards I've see. Good luck with them and hopefully you only have one male.

Can't wait til the Lepidios are all grown up.
yup, my cunningtoni got down and killed the dominate tetracanthus! now theres order in the tank and all this time you could see that the cunningtoni was buliding up! now it looks to be one male and two female tetracanthus. just guessing by size and how the two reacted to that one. had a feeling that cunningtoni was gonna put in work sooner or later! it is what it is!

which lepidolamprologus did you pick up?
