Dream African

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I would have to say my dream now, was fronts now I have them... is to acquire rare species of haps and peacocks (if there are any) for my show tank. Tank space is limiting me now. I am in great need of an upgrade and I am working on it.

My next setup dream is a 120 trophus tank. I hope to have it up before the summer and stocked soon after... I know I will have Eretmodus cyanostictus, but the trophus has yet to be decided... They are like pokemon to kids... I gotta catch em all...
 
My dream africans would be a show colony of pundamilia nyererei ruti island. They are just gorgeous and wonderful to keep.
 
A Blue Moorii. I'm trying to hold off buying anything so when I lose a couple of fish I can go and get one.
 
I would love to have a tank full of calvus. shhh...don't tell my african firends.;)
I have been thinking about buying some when I set up the fish room.
 
Boulengerochromis microlepis, Id love to have a 500gal with some of these in it.. just b/c I like big fish like that =]

I would also like a 180gal Victorian tank with all kinds of mixed species from that lake.

That would be amazing, how many would you want and what size tank? anything with them?

I need to get a big male, my female is lonely... it is so hard to hold off though....

Of course MFK....lol anything else with them?

Pharaoh would love the second idea...
 
a yellow calvus would be a great one to have
but unfortunately the lfs around here don't even know what a calvus is
 
a mixed 200g tropheus tank. too many to get all (60+) and they cost a bit much along with getting the 200g tank and rocks. it would be a very colorful and active tank.

Paretroplus menarambo are extinct in the wild but are being bred in indonesia and some other asian farm. Very nice, grows about 10" and has been bred in aquariums. Madagascar fish aren't as popular for some reason but they are nice.
