He cant clean his tanks, its a aggie thing.

He needs to put some more holey rock for his fry to dart in to and out of.. and then get some BN's to start cleaning his tanks...
I am thinking he would be so much better off... or better yet make a ton of caves by putting a ton of 1 1/2 pipe down and with a ton of openings.. large fish cannot get down there.. but his fry can.. and when they are to big to fit, the adults are not going to eat them.

The debris in the tank either gets into a filter or goes to "poo-corner" for quick and easy vaccum.

The only downside, is some visual appearance, but also you get algae to grow in your filters fromthe lights.

But...you have lights under you stand for free.

are these a brichardi variant, or is the mpimbwe a seperate genus?

[cichlid1409]

mpimbwe is a location, they do have the look of a brichardi....geoff?

thats what i was thinking, they have the striping and pattern of the brichardi, they are classed on cichlid-forum in both brichardi, and as there own.
