Pictures of my new arrivals

Hi Guys,
Here are some pictures of my new arrivals.
They are still Tropheus just like the Bulu Points but these are the Bembas and the Kaisers. They are still pretty small, about 1 1/2 ins in length.

They are called Tropheus Moorii Bemba and Tropheus Moorii Ikola Kaiser. There are 2 species in there. All Cichlids.

By the way, the pictures that I post are all Cichlids.

wow what a nice unique tank! i love it!

kathywithbirds · 03-03-2008, 07:22 PM

ooo nice Teresa!! Did you add those tree trunk thingys to the tank with the big rocks? Looks like it...

teresa · 03-03-2008, 07:48 PM

Thank you for all your nice compliments.
Yes Kathy, I added the tree trunks to the tank as the little guys need lots of hiding places from the big guys " The bulus"

Stacef · 03-03-2008, 07:52 PM

I figured they were some type of cichlids, the few that you can see their faces..it's pretty noticable. Do you have a full tank shot at all??

Thank you boozeman. The substrate is Home Depot Play Sand and the tree trunks are actually plastic believe it or not.

Thank you!!! I really like the look of your tank! You didn't have any troubles with the play sand?

teresa · 03-03-2008, 08:34 PM

Here is the full tank shot

Stacef · 03-03-2008, 08:37 PM

Wow! I love it!!!!
What size is it? I would love to do a sand bottom, when I put my 90g fresh together, I did rock, and also did tap water

. So I am sure you can only imagine the algae blooms I had, and how the rocks look now, even with regular cleaning! Taking out the rocks, and replacing it with sand...with fish in would be a big no-no wouldn't it? Basically will need a cycle just like a Salt tank?
