Ok so the game plan is this.. Tomorrow i will be obtaining a wild caught breeding pair of Lepidiolamprologus lamairi for the 120gal..

I have sold my Lelupi, some Cylindricus, Mustax and Acei..

The 120gal will now become a predator tank and i am also obtaining a small group of 4 Ophthalmotilapia ventralis (Congo orange fin) adults.. So should make for an interesting setup..

Here are some Photo's of the fish to become.. Clearly these are not my photo's so i do not take credit for them just to show you what i am getting..

Predator tanks are fantastic! I'm sure it will turn out great. All the other pics of your tanks look good. Good luck.

Do you know the ratio of the Featherfins?

I was growing out two pairs in a 58 gal. It only had a 3' footprint and things went wrong fast. The males would flash all the time and starting digging some pits, but then one day they flipped. Came home to find 1 torn up male, 2 dead feamles and a shreadded male. I think they need at least a 4' footprint, probably 6' for a larger school and a 1 to 3 ratio. That being said, very cool fish and amazing colors when they get to breeding size. Mine were 3"+ and starting to color up nicely. GL
