120gal Tanganyika setup

[Pittbull]

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..

1. Lepidiolamprologus lamairi



2. Ophthalmotilapia ventralis (Congo orange fin)

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

Thanks gang oh yeah the photos will be soon.. so i got the monsters today but they are in hiding and they are pissed off the attitude from this pair they were even trying to bite the bag.. Greg the guy i bought them from ( Little Africa Aquatics) from Aquabid even got bit by these guys when he was trying to sex them for me hehehe they have a taste of blood now hehhee..

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
