Ordering for me

[jon carman]

I am adding a few new fish to my tank at my house, and display on this order. A couple I havent ever kept before. I am spicing up my tropheus tank at home adding a couple of nontropheus that should go well.

4 simochromis babaulti (1st time keeping)
6 petrochromis ephippium saddleback(kept a couple types over short periods, but not this type)
And I might throw a goby in there as well.

For my display tank I am adding:

1 xtra large red top lwanda peacock
1 red empress
1 wild tyrannochromis macrostoma(diet in the wild is adult mbuna)
1 nimbochromis fuscotaeniatus(venustus livingstoni stunning cousin)
1 xtra large aulonocara maisoni
1 7" striped plagiostoma eel from tanganyika
1 placidochromis phenochilus

I am pumped up about this order. I am always like a kid in a candy store, but

Simochromis is now Simochromis curvifrons. They just ran out of the other next time.

Your list is very similiar to my list ;D. Great minds think alike. Man I wish they had Christyi in stock.

They will soon. I had 5 of them two years ago and couldnt sell them to save my life. They always swam around with a $15 tail sticking out,of their mouth.

I like them already. Might have to remove some of the smaller peacocks to keep one though.

Wow I have owned the tyrannochromis macrostoma and my first Nimbo was a Fusco and I loved that fish. I may have a pic of it on my harddrive. if so I'll try to hunt it down. The Tyrannochromis was a beast. I had to get rid of due to fish vanishing over night. The night we swallowed a 5" Swallowtail peacock was his last day with me.

Mine will be 4-5" but I am prepared for the worst. By the time he gets big enough to do damage I will probably turn the 350 into a tang tank.

I've got the solution for the one I'm getting. Keep only haps that get 8+" ;D

[jtrotter77]

they are beast. IF you get a male Fusco make sure to grow it out if its male. During breeding they are magnificent.
