    My A.Tefe

    Hi Mike I've got a few more pics. This is when he was in the 4' tank I've moved him and the other male into a quarentine tank as I'm unsure what I want to do with them.

    No, When just adding sodium bicarbonate by itself then that will happen, but because I add epsom salts to raise the GH then it stables it out. I don't know the science behind it all but I was told once. Memory like a sieve.

    Hi Cooder pretty much covered the reason why I don't like coral sand. As for play sand I had nothing but trouble with it because it was so fine it used to clump together and grow a carpet of algae over it plus over time it really used to stink thehouse out, so it had to go. I tend to use unipac...

    I had a male ocellatus gold that thought he owned a 4 foot tank so you will see the males locking with each other quite often I guarantee you that. Also If I was setting it up I wouldn't be using lava rock, ocean rock and no coral sand either again IMO it doesn't belong in a tanganyikan or...

    I can't advise putting Cyprichromis leptosoma or any other Cyprichromis in a 2 foot cube, If you where after taking up that open space Paracyprichromis nigripinnis could be an option. you'll be suprised how much of a territory 1 male Brevis holds.

    I've done it that way with Altolamprologus compressiceps and shellies and ended up with no shellies. Everybody has different expierence so I'd encourage you to try it and see if it works for you.

    I just don't agree with it and don't really like it that's all. Your welcome to do it in your aquariums, If that's what you want.

    Maybe I'm just a traditionalist when it comes to keeping Tanganyikan cichlids but I wouldn't do it. People do don't get me wrong, I just don't like it. And they only share the same water chemistry in the aquarium. The two lake are actually very different in many ways. Despite popular opinion...
