New 500ltr Tanganyika Tank

[Peter O'B]

Hey folks, recently replaced my 300ltr tank with a 500ltr. It's gonna be a nice tang community. Really looking to pack it with shellies in the middle, a friend of mine has bred a load of multis so I will be adding 10 soon.

The tank is a bit bare at the moment but I will slowly build up the stocks.

It's a beast alright. Looking forward to stocking it. Did a water change this morning and it nearly broke my back, gonna have to get a large water vat and a decent pump to help

[Pittbull]

sweet setup have you decided on what shellies to go with yet..

 

[Peter O'B]

I've ten multis ready to go from a breeder. Slightly worried about the two juvenile comps I have though........

I've heard that the rule of thumb with comps is: measure the distance between eye and lower jaw, that is the max size fish they will attempt to eat/attack.

Any ideas?
