    Add more flow!

    You plan on keeping the front in there? How is it taking the crazies? I would get a buttload of those burundi fry tattoo has and stuff the tank with them.... this way the fish can hunt them.

    i will do it tomorrow but i have to feed them close to when the lights go out or about an hour ahead because they get vicious and go nucking futs after they eat for some reason !!

    No feeding vid?

    They are looking awesome and already look like they have outgrown the tank the way they reach the other side with a flick of the flank.

    HEy Jesper, I think they were mistaken about the only breeding once in a lifetime from what I have read now.

    I never kept these fish before, but it was interesting seeing their behavoirs in the JEwel of the Rift.

    How old are these guys?

    They really are amazing fish, I just hope you the best of luck at keeping them.

    If you have not read this...quite interesting history and attempts at breeding them.

    Boulengerochromis microlepis is, with a maximum adult length of about 70 cm, one of the biggest (maybe even the biggest) cichlids in the world. It is a notorious predator which catches its prey by pursuit. There are a few reports about its breeding technique in its natural environment but these are somewhat contradictory, this article reports on probably the first successful reproduction of this cichlid in aquarium


    70-90cm, 2-3 ft fish..


    read it like 3 or 4 times already plus other crap

    right now i am feeding shrimp to bring out the yellow but they eat just about anything you throw at them
    and i doubt they will get 3ft due to being in a tank for most of there life or at least until they hit someones pond
