    I have 2 tanks set-up for my Tanganyikan cichlids.

    Tank 1 (1.2m)
    Brichardi breeding colony

    I had purchased them from 4 different resources in July 2009.
    Between the periods July to November my breeding pairs started spawning back to back eventually having four generations of (1000)fry.

    In December I removed my breeding pairs to introduced them into my 2m Tanganyikan community tank. They started to spawn within one week of being in the 2m tank. I had to remove them as they became too terrotorial with my other Tanganyikans.

    Tank 2 (2m Sump tank)

    I have the following Tanganyikan cichlids:
    10 Tropheus Duboisis
    8 Tropheus Red Morrii
    2 Tropheus bmemba
    12 Leleupi (yellow)
    2 Fucifers
    2 Compressicep
    2 Five bar
    4 Frontosas
    2 Brevis
    8 Multificiatous
    2 Jullie Transcriptus
    6 Jullie Regani
    3 Jullie Dickfeldi

    I am looking for someone where I could purchase more Tropheus & Frontosas.

    I am looking for male brevis & female multificiatous.
