My 135 Malawi

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Really nice set up. love the cichlids-Im in the middle of completing mine, went and got 15 peacocks on Saturday from guy in DE. Nice deal. I would really enjoy a full tank shot...if you could
goodluck..

whats the aver size inyour set up?
 
you dont c that nice of africans everyday
 
I will get some more pictures soon... Having fun with my quals. (2 done, I hope I passed them, 2 more to go...)

As for the average size. Well it has gone all to pot on that. I would say 4-5 inches I guess, but I have 2 guys at say 8 inches, and then the just progress to smaller and smaller. But the smallest ones I care about are like 4 inches. Those peacocks sure can grow slow sometimes. (I also like I said have a good 8 yellow lab fry that I just want to be eaten, but each time I turn around there seem to be like 4 more...)



I actually used to have like ~150 lbs of rock... then 1 of my peacocks hurt his eye and I moved a lot of it out. Now I would guess I am down to say 40 lbs. But because of 1 annoying fish I had another peacock hurt his eye. Anyways I promise more pictures soon.
 
So I figured I would do an inventory of my 135

Fish in the tank:
1 Koningsi/Mbenji 5" Male
1 Aristochromis christyi ~6" Sex unknown
1 Protomelas ornatus ~6" Male
1 Copadichromis azureus ~5-6" Male
1 Copadichromis borleyi Mbenji ~7" Male
2 Copadichromis virginalis "Nkande Gold" ~3-4" Males
1 Otopharynx lithobates 5" Zimbawe Rock
1 Tanzanian Spilonotus 8-9" Male
1 Protomelas sp. "Steveni Taiwan" 5-6 inch Male
1 Albino Protomelas sp. "Steveni Taiwan" 5 inches Male
1 Copad. Mokonde Male 4-5" Male (Staring to come into his own now)
1 OB Peacock (female... 3-4")
1 female Ruby Red Female... 3-4" (Don't ask why the females... needless to say I didn't think they were females when I got them.)
1 male Ruby Red, ~5"
1 Sunsine peacock (don't know what type) ~4" male
2 Flametails 4-5" Male
1 Usisya ~6 inches. Oh he is so nice then the stupid christyi caused him to hurt his eye...)
1 Aulonocara stuartgranti "Undu BLue Neon" ~4 inches... was really nice then got put to low man on the totom pole.
1 Cyrtocara moorii ~8" You all know him.
1 Sciaenochromis fryeri ~5-6" male
And then 4 ~4" yellow labs... ~4 1-2 inch yellow labs... and then I think I see about 10 <.5 inch yellow labs...

I think that is all in the tank, things switch around and I sort of what to put in a couple other great fish that I had in there but died, some for no reason, some maybe my fault.


I then have in other tanks, a large colony of ruby reds, lots of mbuna, some more peacocks (lwanda, 4 albino eureka reds, bi-color, albino sunshine) and of course my photo (OB fryeri, and I am trying to raise a couple ob fryeri but I don't know if they are going to pan out to look like I want). And of course I have my other tanks... And the Atlanta Auction is coming in Sept.

Anyways back to some studying then sleep. Hopefully photos tomorrow, for sure Friday. (I doubt I will take any of the smaller tanks.)
