Had to take the L.A boy's out of the 240g. The Pinima are just to aggressive right now. I think there trying to section the tank off for breeding but there isnt enough room! So I took the L.A. boy's out. I don't want to loose them. And they were of size to become Pinima snack so yea forget that.

Good stock you got there, and yeah, nice move on the pull, you're better safe than sorry.

Thanks. Next step is to convince wifey to let me build a SA com tank one day. Something like 16'x8'x3' ...with a nice collection of Cichlas

Good luck bro! That would be awesome for sure. I just need to save the money at this point but I am going to get the 12'x5'x5'.

Heh, it's going to be an interesting battle of the wits my friend. How to convince a psychologist to give in on a fish nut's addiction. That is the question . Why so high by the way, that just drives the price of the acrylic up. Deep is better, IMO, more space to claim for spawning pairs, more hideouts.

Imo when a 4' fish goes verticle it need's the extra space to do so. I have a 350g that is 6'x4'x2' the 2' is so ridiculos to me because how is a 3' fish going to go verticl comfortably. This tank was just a hell of a deal and will be used for breeding only and of course my Sting Ray's. I have seen form other here on MFk that going the extra yard will save a lot on headache and problems keeping them long term. And of course as much money as I have spent thus far another $1k isn't going to break the bank.

Yeah, 2' is a little too short ..my 400 is 30" high. The thing is my Emperors don't really go "vertical" ...I don't feed feeders, as I really don't want them to spawn while the Kitumba colony is in there, don't even wanna think of the damage they would dish out if they spawn.

Now, for a Cichla com tank I see what you're saying ...hmm, a nice large pool with a window view from inside the basement of the house would be cool. Nice long, wide and deep, not to mention one can go swim with Cichlas too

...talk about wet dreams. And by the way, you guys are seriously evil, I was very content with my Emperors and Kits, but now I want some of their Brazilian cousins as well. I guess it never ends, does it?!?

Never end's! I wanted Emp's and GATF's for as long as I have been keeping Cichla. But I had to make a choice and Cichla one that debate hand's down. More Varitey!

I think I'm guilty of hijacking this thread already ...but I think there's a little variety in the Boulengerochromis case as well. Some go solid yellow + blue spangles, others creamy silver with black mask and stripes, or male solid yellow with speckles and female masked. I have the last one, and I have seen some videos of the ones mentioned, but to be honest nobody really researched in depth their case ...or I am not aware of that.

Last mention, had the Boulengerochromis pairing project failed ...I'd most likely have Cichlas right now
