500 gallon petrochromis tank

[GeraldM]

Hi all still pretty new here to the site but I wanted to share a video of my 500 gallon Petrochromis tank. It has petrochromis Moshi, Redfin Longola, fasciolatus Nkondwe, Rainbow petros, couple halembe and some lake tanganyika tilapia. Almost all the fish are wild caught. Hope you enjoy the video.

Awesome display. I've never seen so many Petros in one place. You must go through spirulina wafers like they're going out of style. Any spawns yet?

Yeah lol I over stocked the aquarium to avoid petrochromis aggression. The Moshi and the fasciolatus Nkondwe breed quite often. The others have started to try to breed but haven't perfected it yet lol. These guys love spirulina flake and wafers and about jump out of the tank for krill.

...and a clown loach.

Haha, seriously though that's pretty impressive.

Thanks lol and there is 3 clown loaches in the aquarium they do an amazing job of keeping snails under control. The tank is 8 feet long by 2 feed wide by four and a half feet tall but has thick acrylic so have to deduct a little water volume from it.
