Advice on some Trophs

[eklikewhoa]

I've got a decent sized wet/dry on there already and honestly too lazy to change it out but I'll keep you in mind. What dimension is the wet/dry, if you could pm pictures or something it would be cool.

[aggrofishkeeper]

Hmmm, let me know if you get more....

I have extra mag pumps 9&18, hang on skimmer to throw in. I also have a monster size wet/dry laying around with bioballs.

Probably go pretty well for a 180g.

I sold some to buy the new tank but that was all.

[aggrofishkeeper]

Do you sell fry?

[eklikewhoa]

Please refrain from calling them out of their name. The mods will not have that kind of behavior.

Calling then nemansii is just as bad.


The colony has tripled since I've gotten them back months ago.

BTW those namansis spitting anytime soon? hmmmmm?

what you call them? chibangbangs?

Edit: oops "Chibongbongs"

[eklikewhoa]

Thanks EK.

Like pool filter sand?

Leslies pool filter sand... the white w/blue lettering sand is the light in color, the blue w/white lettering is darker mud looking in color.

[aggrofishkeeper]

Where can I buy normal sand at? I think that's what I'm going to use as a substrate for my temporary tank. And few big pieces of petrified wood I have laying around.

Having kept them myself for a long time and learning from them I wouldn't say they are that mean towards con-specific.

I think their cost has more to do with where they are collected or how much trouble it is to get them here vs. what people have. Plus I don't think "everybody" has them, just seems that way and they've come down in price a great deal.

[aggrofishkeeper]

I heard Ilangis are some of the meanest trophs out there?

I'm still curious as to how they are the most expensive still, even though every body have them.

They're 10$ more than any other WC on all the importer's list I've come across.

[eklikewhoa]

Lol, settled fish vs. recently mixed.

If they working out their differences...it can get nasty.

I don't think it makes much difference. Before the majority caught on people were keeping these in 3ft 55g or smaller and in colony sizes, if you can call it that, of 6-10. Yeah a lot of them had problems but look at the ones that didn't, those are the ones that kept the hobby alive long enough for the rest of us noobs to join in on the fun and act a donkey

http://youtu.be/dfUSHAPagzo here they are when I jsut got them.

Oh yeah! Mbita Islands! Let me snap a photo of the big fella. He's happy with his gold fish buddies. This angry mf'er killed them all by himself.

I called some petstores and the prices between the 75 and 90 weren't far off. I like the extra 4'' of viewing. higher the tank the cleaner it looks. The reason I hate my 125g and wish I never sold my 210g. lol
