    Can't wait to see the inkas! I'd love some of them! And for that matter the trifasciatas, and agassizi double reds, and the bitaeniata, and the nijsseni! I currently just have one pair of the caca sunbursts! Beautiful fish! Cheers! Big G!

    Seriously Slagter! They are stunning! Wish I had em!

    I never seen Macmesteri like that before?? I've only ever seen ones that were Silver and Red! Didn't like them, but those have made me reconsider!

    And the Inkas??

    Cheers
    Big G!

    Slagter... what size tank do you have these in? Or are each pair in their own tank? Would love to see that set up!

    The Inkas are taking some strain. I lost 1 pair and the second pair are busy recovering. The male looks good, but the female is still on the edge... I'll take some pics once she has fattened up and is healthy again!

    Each pair is in their own tank. I have the Pandurini, Macmasteri and Cacatuoides pairs in 3ft tanks. Inkas, Agassizi, Trifasciatas, Cacatuoides and Agassizi Reds in 2ft tanks.

    Then I have my 3 quarantine tanks which are 160L 3fts. I have my 6 Steindachneri in one and in another I have pairs of sunburst Cacatuoides and Vejieta (or sp Steel Blue). I am about to remove the substrate from the 3rd one to make it a bare bottom tank.

    That makes TOO MANY TANKS for me! I just did a 70% water change on my tank, which is only a 4ft 300litre, and it was enough for me. Granted I did a rescape.

    Now busy dosing for Anchor worm...

    LOL!! I sometimes think it is too many tanks for me too...

    I currently have 20 tanks with water and with fish. I have a few other tanks which are empty. But I love Dwarf Cichlids too much!! They are magnificent little fish!
