Protomelas sp. "Steveni Taiwan" (Taiwan Reef)

It`s taken me all week to get a decent picture, I`m fairly happy with the first one.
He`s also my first fish from the Haplichromines group.

I am going to have to get that SLR camera soon. Great looking fish, what size do they get too and what size are they now? How do you find mixing them with your existing mbuna or are they in a different tank?

 

[Nick Sw]

Thanks for the comments.
In a different tank ATM a RIO 180 temporary until I get a 4x2x2. They are in with the Aulonacara Maylandi and 4 Acei.

Did you put the tangs from the Rio 180 into your old 60-70 gallon mbuna tank? Where are you going to put the new 4x2x2 tank and is it going to be specifically for Haps?

 

[Nick Sw]

Sold the Tangs , the 4x2x2 is going where the RIO 180 is (computer room) Yes just a few small haps and 1 or 2 peacocks. Maybe a few peacefull Mbuna.
Meaning I will have a RIO 180 spare and the 264 litre original Mbuna.
I`ve been walking round the house with a tape measure seeing where I can fit one in.
