That's an interesting look! Do they stick mainly to the rockwork?

[Pittbull]

Efors yeah i originally received 6 but lost one due to poor shipping techniques and it was a female i lost but the five i have now are doing a lot better i still have one that is way under weight and is doing OK.. I like them..

Pappy yes they cling vertically to the tank's back glass (i guess because it is painted black and they feel secure that way as well) and rocks also they hug the sand as well..

[jpappy789]

What type of cyps are those?

[Razzo]

Cool looking fish Pitt - I have not seen them before.

[austinpetemo]

dang, that one has some long fins. they look really big, and the sexfaciatus look amazing!

[efors]

Well, knowing as you are, I'm not sure for how long those fishes are going to stay with you; but amazing setup, Pitt!

[Pittbull]

Hey Pappy i believe those Cyps are Blackbee cyps is what i think they are but i am holding them for a friend and the other fish do not mess with them if i end up keeping them i will up there numbers..

Thanks Razz..

Thanks Austin they are about 6 to 7 inches and they do have long fins pretty neat, those sexi's are about 4 to 5 inches still have some growing to do..

Thanks Granpa efors me mucker yeah you know me aye.. Never know what i may end up doing hehehe..

[myswtsins]

I love their body shape & finage!

[Pittbull]

Thanks Jen yeah i like their fins as well especially the larger male with his Nuchal Hump..

[bradlgt21]

where did you get those guys. I know about them through research and think they are really cool but never saw them come up for sale anywhere. Even aquabid with ther crazy high prices most of the time.

[Pittbull]

Hey Brad i lucked into these i have a buddy who is big time in the Hobby and he picked them up for me from their original owner from a convention up in Ohio 6 for 60 bucks about 2 weeks ago.. I only lost one out of the 6.. If i get these to breed i will hook you up with some..

[Pittbull]

I was switching them to the Predator tank these guys turned out to be super aggressive as well..

awesome jaw structure and teeth, they remind me of my telmatochromis dhonti ;)

[Pittbull]

They do resemble the Telmato's but these are huge..

[country_boy454]

Wow those look awesome!

[Pittbull]

Thanks country i seen the whole colony swim upside down on the top of the water the other day and i was like wow these guys are too big to be doing this but i guess they like it..

[tranced]

how big are they out of interest??

[Pittbull]

They are at 6 to 7 inches right now and should be done growing.. Except the little female i have she looks to be around 3 to 4 inches..

[tranced]

ah thats pretty tank! my dhonti are just little guys 2-2.5"

[Pittbull]

Yeah i had a whole colony of Dhonti sorta wished i kept them now..

[efors]

You have guilty feelings for being such a trading maniac, Pitt.

[Pittbull]

Hahaha Efors you know me aye..

[austinpetemo]

ah thats pretty tank! my dhonti are just little guys 2-2.5"

[Pittbull]

[tranced]

gorgeous dhonti mate, heaps better than mine :( :)

[austinpetemo]

are they slow growers?

[Pittbull]

All Tangs are slow growers Austin, LOL.. Thanks Tranced..

[blue2fyre]

All Tangs are slow growers Austin, LOL.. Thanks Tranced..


You know I have always wondered about that. Why are all Tangs slow growers? Is there some evolutionary advantage? Or is it just the conditions of the lake?

[Pittbull]

Sorry Blue but i am stumped on the same thing its almost mystified why the Tangs grow so slow..

[tranced]

because good things come to those who wait?

[Pittbull]

Hehehe Thats right Tranced..
