My 530 gallon tank with malawi predators.
My 530 gallon tank with malawi predators.
Like the gallery moderator asked me to put my pics together I put them togehter in one single image (may take a little time to download). So you can take off all the other ones.
Fish are malawis (mostly predators) which live in sandzones in the lake malawi. T.Macrostoma, T.Maculiceps, N.Livingstoni, T.Nigriventer, A.Christyi, C.Caeruleus, P.Milomo, C.Moori, F.Rostratus, N.Fusco, P.Phenochilus Tanzania and 3 Synodontis Multipunctatus.
Dimensions are 250cm x 80cm(height) x 100cm(depth). Filtration works with 12000 litres per hour (2 pumps) out of a 400 litres filter tank under the main tank.
I regulary have to give fish away because they breed every week since several months.
So I think they can't be very unhappy.

Always forgot to post my name. so there it is. By the way...does anybody know at what size Tyrannochromis macrostoma males get coloured? My biggest one is 15 cm at the moment and is still brown wit a bit shiny blue. You cannot see yet by the fin if it is male or female. They are all a bit pointed.

looks good for your 1st attempt, but you neet more caves/holes.
(anonymous) » posted 2006/04/18 02:39 am  
No, caves are for Mbuna. These are big fisheater. They don't need holes. The need free sand zones and swimmimg space. You confused this with Mbuna cichlids.
