Oh, and Yhbae01 what type of fish is the one on your avatar?
This one is pretty small - its Lamprologus Stappersi, which grows to about 2 inches max. I have a pair of these guys growing alongside Julidochromis Transcriptus Gombe in the same tank. Sand + shells in one area, rocks in the other area.

With lots of barriers between those two areas, of course.

Not quite the monster fishes you guys raise in this forum. :D

Oh, I miss keeping Julies! I used to have a pair of Checkered Julies along with a few Brichardi and a couple pink Kribs. I either like TEEEENY TINY fish or whoppers, although right now the largest thing I have are Koi and Bullheads.
