Great looking fish, lets hope that its 1 male and 9 females! have you started saving for the monster tank?

I'm hoping to move into a house in 2 years, hopefully I could fit them in my 75 gallon for the time being....I could get a monster tank now If I want, but I don't wanna be moving that out of an apartment especially is I have to take 6 floors of stairs up or down....lol....

I'd say you will be ok for a while in terms of keeping them in a 75g, but 34 fish especially if 13 of them are fontosa might be pushing it a bit after a couple of months. Although you do have the benefit that they are fairly slow growers.

they definitely are slow growers...I have a small group of burundi's on my 75 gallon right now, but will be sold as soon as the kigomas get some size, my biggest burundi is about 6" and It only grew 3" in the last 2 years..how long do you think my kigoma would reach at least 2" in a 20 gallon cause that's the size I want for them to go to the 75??? They are being fed twice a day right now....
