Thanks jpappy.
I just love their blue eyes and at feeding time they all school together to feed, too darn cute.

I love it when my male flares at my multi male. Their fins are so elegant and their eyes, yes, are beautiful!

I love your tank! Its so clean, but so nice looking! The Julies are cute too.

Being a fresh water keeper I really liked the before pictures. That was a nice tank. Good luck with the new set-up.

Q

Tanganyikan cichlids are freshwater fish. They come from one of the Rift Lakes in Africa.

If you dont mind me asking...I was wondering what type of rock you are using...I have some texas holey rock but that stuff is so dang expensive and I need more rockwork

 

[TropicalNorth]

Thanks everyone.
Its dead coral rock (dead live rock) that I was able to collect off the beach for free, one of the perks of living near a reef . It was all above the high tide mark, nicely bleached and smoothed off. I looked at buying rock but like you said its sooooo expensive to get a decent amount so I just took the time to collect my own, all legal of course. I think dead live rock is cheaper than holey rock and some others.

Here are some pics of the 3 Black Calvus I got, bit skinny and knocked around but they're conditioning up nicely. I call them the Calies, awesome fish they change colour at the drop of a hat.

The two feuding families the Julies and the Calies fighting for dominance on the Tanganyikan shoreline (Romeo & Juliet). No seriously :grinyes: the calvus and the julies get on great.

Wow very nice...I would get calvus but I dont want any fry to disappear!
