i will try to make this short and to the point.
my plan was to start a more aggressive type of tanganyikan community, the first fish that came to mind was lepidiolamprologus kendalli.
the tank was purchased on craigslist with the footprints of 72"L18"D12"H which is about 68 gallons.
the next step was to paint the back plus the stand.
got it all set up in my room with the fx5 and the sand now it was time for water, got 6 danios to cycle the tank. the tank has 60 pounds of black lava rock which i think looks awesome.
the best part of the process came and i ordered my fish from anthony's fish, he did a great job packed everything great and i would highly recommend. if you want his email i can give it to you. t
he stock list ended up with:
4 f1 lepidiolamprologus kendalli
4 f1 lepidiolamprologus mimicus
2 WC neolamprologus sexfasciatus
3 WC synodontis dhonti.
im hopeing to end up with a pair of both the kendalli and mimicus in the long run.
well today i picked up the fish after a few weeks of cycleing, these pics were taken after litteraly two minutes in the tank so fish were still stressed. 2 of the danios were already eaten by the mimicus, R.I.P lol.
sorry about the iphone pics i will update with new pics once the fish are settled in, will use a real camera next time.
any questions im willing to answer.
enjoy
