for those who are wondering about the cyprichromis, i got my cyprichromis utintas in my tropheus tank growing out! theyre small and worried they might get swallowed so im gonna grow them out a bit! i got a group of 6. by the way, i know i asked this before but i never got a response from those who own cyps but when does the color come out in the males? my cyps are opal looking right now at 11/2". any idea?
From reading on Chichlid Forums, most people said around 2" for colour on the tail and 2.5" for the body. Mine were already 3-4" when I got them so I didn't have to worry about that. :D You've got quite a great collection of tangs there!

thanks derek! im gonna add 50 more pounds of rock and some shells. i was thinkin, but not sure how itll look but hittin up ur spot for a nice piece of drift wood for the center! well see cuz those pieces arent cheap!
yeahh after i get most of the fish i want in the tank i will worry about the rocks and stuff. i want to take some of my big ones out and throw a tons of small ones. did you use eggcrate? and yeah i was thinking of eventually adding a little piece of wood down the road and some fake plants. we got a ton of small brichardi for like 5 bucks right now :D and like one other tang that im not even sure what they are because we got them yesterday
