Had those red crabs before myself, kept on escaping onto the condensation tray via the heater wire. Tank looks great.

Gorgeous. What are the scientific names for those fish?

 

[guppy_man]

the scientific name is Pseudocrenilabrus multicolor, they are very energetic, and my male has stunning colours

Love those fish.

The crab is lovely too. I keep a few of these, but mine prefer to be out of the water quite a lot.
Their tank has large lumps of bogwood that come out of the water, and they frequently sit around basking.

Can yours get out of the water at all?

yes they can, i have recently added 2 medium sized pieces of bogwood, that come out of the water about 2" and they hardley ever use it, ive only seen them on it twice.
They love sinking catfish pellets, its funny because, i drop a few in and they all scurry over to them like fish would
And also, they are ripping down my plants, which i knew they would, atleast they are happy

The female mouthbrooder is holding, so ive moved the male into my 39gal, just till she spits, then i will move the fry into their own 5gal, and male back in with his partner

i love red crabs, they are good for the tank as i often saw my cousins eating the fish poo (ew lol) so its a little cleaner!
my dad bought two and wouldnt listen to my warnings about crab escapism...and yes they escaped and likely met the wrath of a springer spaniel ^^

are those the fish that keep babies in their mouths? the name suggests it but ive never seen one their very pretty!
