Updates from the 300

Great looking Nigerian and most definitely a male!

Yeah it tried to have fun with my big girl Croc (Dabola endli), she was actually trying to swim away from him and he would pursue. Finally she just realized he was smaller and nipped at him. He has backed off her since then. I had to laugh that the fish was only in the tank for an hour and it wanted to get freaky already. So I take that as a sign of it being happy in the new tank,

Koliba looks crazy nice.

Thanks, it is one of the shy ones in the tank so Im happy when it comes out.

Nigerian lap update

Day 2 in the 300g

You can see the food bumps of the tilapia from last night.

Size comparison with the Faranah lap. The tips of the tails are pretty much even

The Nigerian has had zero issues fitting in

Fins up

I can see some nice pattern showing

I hope it shows up clear and does not fade out. Its hard to tell from the pics but it really darkened up today. Im hoping in a couple weeks it will really settle in and show some patterns. As much as complain that the koliba is plain, it does show a very nice pattern, the Faranah is just outstanding and hopefully the Nigerian shows well too. Never thought I would end up with so many lap.

I have to say the little guy is pretty hyper and pops out front a lot. Totally fit right into the mix with no issues. Super happy about that. Was worried and had left the qt tank up just in case. Looks like I can take it down now.

so excited the Nigerian Lap is getting along perfectly with everyone. The huddle pictures with each individual poly show it all. Still can't get over how he's been chasing Croc lol.

Weekend update

Nigerian putting on some meat on it's skinny bones

Specks are still showing so I thought I might just name it Speck

Big Porkchop

Croc and Nessie

Nom Nom the ansorgii

The whole cichlid gang begging for food

Oh no its a dead weeksii... lol, not really. It loves to get in these weird positions that you swear its dead.

Full of life in its eyes despite the 'im dead' look

Nice update and I just love your names. Your weeksii is an endearing little fish.

That shot of porkchop from the front is awesome!

 

[sevs and sajicas for me]

Thanks, they pretty much live up to their names in some way.... but still have not come up with a solid name I like for the Koliba lap.

I think you would like having a weeksii. They have that same mannerism of the moke where they have almost a slow but deliberate way about them. Hard to explain it but lots of other bichir have come and gone but the weeksii still is there. If I had to downsize I think I would find a way to keep Porkchop and the weeksii

I think I'd like weeksii too.
