Tanganyika Set Up Or Malawi?

[mark7616]

Right im setting up my 100g and unsure what to do i was going to transfer the mbuna from the 55g to the 100g and do summing with the 55g but now ive decided that i quiet like a frontosa so not sure what to do??? any ideas?

deep and mischievous laugh muahahahhaha I will have you all converted in no time!!! muahahah



ok, question is... do you want a mostly frontosa tank or a mix of lil' bit of this lil' bit of that?

also, how do you feel about SAND?

 

[mark7616]

I have sand in all my tanks but not really fussed i put in a substrate that the fish requires not what i do!!! I would like mainly frontosas with a bit of this and that if you get me!

mark NOooooooo, dont listen to her, cover your eyes before its tooooo lateeee LOL

 

[mamafish68]

ok we're keeping the sand then, tangs are mostly sifters. next question, do you get specialized fish by lfs or mail? I'm wondering this because it seems you guys over there are often limited in your choices.

I'm thinking some furcifers would be gorgeous for you and a couple of compressiceps (gold heads maybe)



or a group of fronts (check around on prices, they can get expensive, burundi are usualy cheaper), some cyps and some feather fins, the choices are out there for you!!

 

[mark7616]

well my wife wants frontosas so how many with what cyps and featherfins would you recon would look good and ill see if i can get them.

We have just had a look and we like the cyprochromis they look cool nice and colourful and there longfaces are great but the featherfins there is no colour look very bland.

 

[mamafish68]

in a 100g you could have 3-4 fronts, 6-10 cyps, and dependding on the feather fins (boops are mean as snakes) 4-5

Could we have fronts with cypros and compressiceps

 

[mamafish68]

LOL this is bland to you?

dangggggg you're fussy!!! lmao j/k

the fronts, cyps & comps would work nicely !

 

[mark7616]

i think i may come unstuck because it 100g but only 48 long i couldnt stick 4 15" fish in that could i?

 

[mamafish68]

eehhh yea, that would be pushing it, how deep is it? how high also?



fronts by nature prefer the bottom back areas where there should be plenty of cover, rock formations to hide behind, they feel more secure and safe this way. funny for such a large fish they can be some of the biggest babies!! but once they trust you their like puppies, mine eats out of my hand & lets me pet him. a guy I know, he has a male that will coast into his palm and rest there.

 

[mark7616]

its 48" long x 24" high x 20" in width
