Flowerhorn was in there cycling the tank






work in progress 100 gallon show tank. Added some more rock and some fish not done by a long shot though.

Very nice! What kind of fronts do you have in there?

 

[mike dunagan]

what are the other fish? I saw fronts and pleco, what are the yellow ones?

 

[BastardFish]

I knew you guys were going to ask that

I am not an expert anymore used to know my Africans real well YEARS ago but now Two are electric yellow and the other are something that start with and L I know that I will have to reach them again to get the name. The is also a couple others in there not showin that I have to do the same with

mbuna and fronts not so great. How long is the tank? In the long run the fronts will need some space to swim...

It looks great, and we will have to see... Find out what the other fish are and let us know.

 

[BastardFish]

well we will see I am not trippin got punty of space if that is not enough for them in the long run but this tank is very good size

I'm guessing its the standard 100 gallon "show" so its 48" long. IMO that is not going to be enough for your fronts long term. How many of them do you have?

I agree that the mbuna are not good tankmates for the fronts, their hyper energy will stress the fronts out. Also when the fronts get large enough, the mbuna could become a snack. Learned that lesson the hard way with the Mpimbwe and a 5" peacock

 

[mike dunagan]

thats fine, just giving a heads up...
