What option should i go for??

Hi guys.i'm going to be selling my breeding colony of wild caught kigoma frontosa soon..so gona be redoing my 2m tank..have two options..a tropheus tank with 30-40 tropheus,or a tanganyikan community tank with 10cyathopharynx furcifer,15 jul.transcriptus,6neo.leulupi,5 paracyprichromis nigripinnis.wil add some leptosoma n some enantopius kilesa(if i can get some).which option you guys think i should go for?i want both tanks..but only have one 2m(for now..lol)

 

I don't know what the hell you are talking about, so pictures might help

 

Lol..sorry sauron.will try to post some pics later..common names are not really used for tanganyikan cichlids

 

lol, so therefor, we who aren't in the know, will choose by what they look like

 

Hi Sarf

Your options sound great. Just check that your Tang Community tank species are compatible. I like the second option. PS i think you get bore to quickly.

 

This needs pictures ...

 

Lol.@risen..i actually agree with you..got bored of the tank..the longest fish i kept are my ngara peacocks..hav them for two years so far.

 

Okay well let me slap you with a burst of inspiration! -PLANTED TANK- it looks pretty and you wont ever get bored coz of the creative side to trimming.. You can even keep dwarf cichlids if it makes you happy

 

i agree some pics will be needed :bigsmile:

 

here are some pics of my options

1. Tropheus bemba ( 30-40 fish)




2. other option...Tang community tank

Cyathopharynx Furcifer


paracyprichromis nigripinnis



Jul. transcririptus gombi


Neo.leulupi


enantopius kilesa ( if i can get)


Cyprichromis leptosoma


so which option should i go for?

 

I'd say the Tanga's.. Seems like an interesting group..

 

the tropheus would look good depending on what decor the tank will have

but i would go for a collection of pic 3,4,6,and 7..

 

I would go with South American cichlids, angels, apistos, with an ancistrus or two and some Cory's, In a Rio Negro Biotype tank..........

But that is that's my choice

 

Thats a nice option zafgak..but i already kinda have a set up like that in my 1,2m tank.the tang tank would be different coz some of those fish i managed to get are not common at all

 

Those are beautiful fish. Cant wait to see this tank when finished.

 

Tangs colours are awesome

 

Hey i would take them all by their look.(Impulsive fish byuer)

Seriously i would go for option 2. without Neo.leulupi

 

Ok..so my colony of kigoma frontosa have been sold i'v jst put in some rocks n will be fetching some top quality f1 mbunas from a friend..jst to fill the tank while i'm busy searching for some of the fish on my list..wil post pics later
