Tiger scats

[Oddball]

There's a group of grow-out Nangu black fronts, trophs, and canary cichlids sharing the tank with the scats.

I used rift lake salts primarily for the Tangs. I figured it wouldn't hurt the scats since they're from areas with the same geology. Other owners keep them in conditions from slightly brackish to full fresh (alkaline) with equal success. I guess the best way to keep them will be determined at the 1st captive spawning.

BTW, I had to remove all of the plastic plants. This species will eat anything that even remotely resembles a plant.

Nice pick up Brian. You'll like them. Bold fish, with character as same as datnoid. Here's my group of 13, range from 7" to 9". I have had them for 4 years, strictly fresh, tap, socal water. They eat all type of pellets, float, sinking, Hikari or Ken. I can't believe to see peeps selling their left and right, consider how everybody was asking for them not too long ago, but when I saw your info regarding where you purchase yours, I realize why they did so. It's a shame. I'm debating on whether I should grow out another group

Wow! What a nice group you have John! I should of known you had some lol. It's good to hear people keeping them in different water conditions and them doing fine. I asked around about them and everyone said they are great fish... A lot of personality for sure. Yeah crazy how people wanted them and some selling off for whatever the reason considering it's been years since they have been around. I'm glad I picked up some. Mine are just eating blood worms right now but try pellets.
