Well, I hope you're all happy, feeding my new addiction. I bought a 125g tonight (picking it up this weekend). I'm keeping the 70g, too. I'll separate the male daffodils and see if spreading the two feuding frontosas over 6 feet of length helps. If not, I'll separate them, too.
Now my wife is wanting a community tank in the living room with bettas, etc.

the burundi fronts will do fine in a 125. My advice to you is to use a fine substrate like crushed coral or sand as they like to dig. Round river rock is the best to use because if they are spooked the edges are not sharp. You will love it and good luck!

Already have river rock on hand, too. |

Now my wife is wanting a community tank in the living room with bettas, etc. Grats ! i have 2 bettas one Is a coloration that i have never seen in a batta blue and orange! you can have him free there is now room in my tank for him. also have a red one if you rather have him. Once the time comes! lol... The 6 bar Kavalla frontosa you got will do fine with the Brichardi (if you choose to move him). the other 9 Kingoma (7bar) will thrive in that 125gal!!!! grats on the tank, can't wait to see it set up. Your going to need some "julidochromis marlieri" to add to that brichardi (real name: Pulcher Daffodil) Tank! and I know where you can get them *wink. You should bring the wife by to check out the rest of the tanganikans that available to you. =) |

And so the MTS begins...
-Rick (the armchair aquarist, who's 20g broke before he set it up, so he's only got a very mild case of MTS with a 29g and a 10g. And he can stop at any time. Honest!)

I wish my wife would like fish. I don't think she hates them, but it ain't her cup of tea.
And,...I agree with moving. If I ever move again, I think I'll just sell the house with furnishings.
I can't even imagine moving all the stuff.
Hoping we stay in this house til we die.
Besides, I have my fish room the way I like it now. Can't imagine starting over with that too. UGH !
