Re: 215 Tanganyikan Journal

beautiful tank Tim......wow is such a small word for that gorgeous monster....
i love the cyps and the Eretmodus....i have quite a few of those guys....
i don't know alot about them....but i have a few doing the wild thing here recently....are they mouthbrooders or egg layers?

Mouthbrooders - the cyps are maternal while the erets are biparental.

nice tank stand and canopy, good choice on the cyprichromis kitumba they are the best looking of the leptosoma

Thank you, I believe it was your pics posted in the HFB gallery that -at least in part - originally got me nto Cyprichromis

I appreciate the kind words  J-WS6, Jeebus, EaRtHeAtEr, and Jose

forgive the stupidity of my question.....but what do you mean "biparental"????
