thanks for the compliment!!! i have a lot of other tanks, and a lot of other fish that i love. but this tank was pretty much my first one, and i don't think i could ever change it. i have a Tanganyikan tank too i gotta get some pictures of, nothing but white holy rock top to bottom. i just love Africans.

Orljdmh22, a very nice bunch of fish there. (I have very similar tastes, heck I have almost all of those in some tank or another.) How long have you had them in that tank with all the rocks? (And have you had any eye damage occur?)

i have had them in that tank with all the rocks for about 2 years now. every once in a while someone will bust some scales on the rocks. but its actually been a fairly mellow tank. the only issue i ever had was the first C. Caeruleus i ever owned must have freaked one day while i was at work and knocked a piece of slate onto himself right behind the gills. he was dead when i got home, it was my fault though - the slate was in a bad spot and not wedged in well. but other than that its been great.

F1 Tropheus Duboisi Kigoma




WC Altolamprologus Compressiceps Karago (Orange morph)




F1 Altolamprologus Compressiceps Firefin

More shots available when they all decide to cooperate!

That is a really good record. Heck I lost 1 fish from wedging himself into a rock, then I have had 3 hurt there eyes. (1 eventually blinded both his eyes.)

BTW, while on Monsterfishkeepers I am doing a measurement at NIST that has never been done in the world. (Well at least on a STM).
