tanganyikan fish suggestions

[jasoneri]

I have a 125g aquarium right now that has discus in it. And I am bored of it. I have pretty much have kept every fish under the sun. I am thinking about setting up a tanganyikan set up. Does anyone have suggestions about what fish I could get. I'm not looking for your everyday fish either and maybe if you have pics of set ups also.
Thanks

Petrochromis

That is one of the ones I was actually thinking about and it's one I actually haven't kept before.

Yeah, our fish club, CCA had Sarah Roberts (Longstockings) speak on them over the weekend. Awesome fish if you have the tank space and the $$$... they're not cheap.

Great "pet fish."

I second that vote. Petros are pretty much all I keep and breed these days. Some trophs and cyps too, but petros are my main focus. No fish out there like them, and a real challenge to anyones fish keeping skills too

Is there any good info on them and where to get some. I have been looking but I can't really find anything good.

Here's a good article from Cichlid Forum.

These are good folks that I know of who specialize in harder-to-find Tangs:

Even if Tom or Allison don't have something listed in stock, they may still have it. Shoot them an email and they'll work with you.
