Plans For A New Tank

[drobbyb]

Even though I have no idea when I will be able to set up a new tank, I kinda want to make plans for it.

I was thinking a 30 long tank with AC 70 filter, black gravel, and M. kamaka stocking.

I have found a source for these fish, and the seller usually has them up and breeding, so that's a plus.

Anyone have any specific experience with them?

it's fish like this i dont understand. M. kamaka to me look like colorless M. lacustris, so why would you want to switch unless it was for the "cool" factor of having rare fish? I know i'm not helping with your thread but come on, you've had M. lacustris long enough that I think you'll find yourself wanting for some color with M. kamaka

and are you thinking of the 30g tank 'cause it's small enough you might slip it pass the landlord?

I'm hoping that I can talk them into letting me have a small tank. Actually, I quite like the look of M. kamaka and they stay small enough so I can keep 10 in a 30 gallon.

True they don't have alot of color when compared to lacustris, but the white/silver coloration they develop kind of looks like they are covered in a whitish silver dust.

well it sounds you have things planned out well. i didnt know kamaka stayed that small! Good luck with them!
