No the opposite i wanted to sell you some fish. DOnt forget about the adult sizes.

Yeah I do plan to add a lot more.

Given that all my fish will be wild caught it is a gradual saving process. The Acei in there cost me £125 with delivery alone!

I'm saving up to buy a big group of several species i.e 30-40 at once some time soon.

If you are into Wild Africans then have a chat with this seller from ebay

I have had some stunning fish from him and from the sounds of it he is a little cheaper than the prices you are paying. I just purchase a stunning trio of wild Maylandia estherae with a real blue male! He runs a shop in syston leicester which is well worth a visit.

The tank looks stunning by the way!

Sam when you think about it 60 would look awful. Imagine a tank with 60 6"+ fish in.

maybe not quite 60 but you could get alot and in a tank this size it would look ace, specially with pretty heavy rock scaping.


have you seen the public aquarium pictures with thousands?

I'm only really looking to buy wild caught fish.

They will be wild caught from my tank. Sam i have seen a couple of pics i think they look awfullly overcrowded.

The only tip I can give is give it a bit more colour, the fish look a bit bland too...

I think some more plants would make it look awsome, i like how you stacked the rocks

Not many plants survive in a mbuna tank though!!

Its his first fish neal, give it a bit of time and they will colour up nicely!!

Nice tank btw Chris!!

 

[KingKenny]

The fish do look a bit bland in the pictures.

However that's due to the camera quality. They have coloured up fantastically well since the week i got them and after feeding NLS pellets.

Pictures don't do them justice!
