One of the most inspiring Tanganyika aquascapes I've seen on youtube. I'm interested in how you keep your Tropheus healthy and bloat free from a meaty diet as you said. Do you feed some days with spirulina also?
Well it's simple. For all the time period I have kept tropheus i've fed them with only high protein foods (also bloodworms). I won't get to the tropheus diet debate because that could take months... I feed tropheus a meaty diet for almost 7 years now. And btw there are 10 cyphotilapias . 5 Zaire blue moba and 5 blue bismark ( samazi).
How is your success with keeping Fronts and Trophs together, been thinking about keeping a single pair of fronts with a colony of Trophs.
Problem im thinking about is the Frons are carnvores and Trophs Herbivores and the trophs being sooo crazy eaters.
Guess im asking how are you feeding, makeing shure the trophs don't get too much protine and makeing shure the slower more relaxed fronts get something to eat???
@dirkgonthier101 petrochromis and cyphotilapia are not neon tetra, they need large tanks (like this one ;) ) and petros need a LOT of swimming place
Benthochromis are timid and calm fish, but they get large too
anyway, a good setup but.... how do you feed the fishes? tropheus-petrochromis have a total different diet, the another fishes need more proteins (cyphotilapias eat cyps in the wild)
@Memmo061091 I keep a lot of these fish fronts, Altolamprologus, Neolamprologus, Julidochromis in a 900 liter-tank. That also works. With the Bentochromis and the petrochromis I don't have expierence. I keep my large tanks (1500-liter + 2000 liter) for other fish: Vieja argantea, Uaru amphiacanthoides, Astronotus ocellatus, Heros notatus, Aequidens rivulatus
@Memmo061091 I don't think you understand me. I wrote you that I have NO petrochromis and NO bentochromis and I have NO intentions of ever keeping petrochromis or bentochromis. So, the explanation of how they're supposed to be fed is very intresting, but for me also completely irrelevant since I have NO pentochromis or bentochromis.
benthochromis are, IMO, the most fearful fish in the world:
a friend took 30 benthos and put them alone (without another tank mates) in a large tank.... ~10 of them died while feeding them... just because they saw the shape nearing to the tank (!!!)
about the sand, it's always stays white and clean without maintenance... because the sand is so dense the feces of the fish don't get through it and stay on it's surface. I have currents all over the aquarium so the dirt "flushes" to the overflow boxes...
I too am in awe of this tank, you have my dream tank and i am very jealous right now. They look right at home in lake Tangi. awesome aquascape!! awesome fish A+++
i have mad respect for this tank and it's owner. i wish i had the money for the love that i9 have for this hobby.please watch my videos and tell me the goods and bads in it . if coming from you i am open to any coments good or bad, so please let me know. im dying to get to your level of this particular hobby. i dont care what ppl say this tank is the best.
your tank is GREAT. I love it so much, I'm definitely favoriting this ! It's so natural looking. I read all about your adventure to germany, It looks like it was totally worth it. Great job man. I plan on getting one of those BTN backgrounds too, but not until i upgrade to a bigger tank :) My tank is nothing compared to yours, but please do check mine out when you get the time
I'm a big fan of the btn backgrounds as well, its a shame though that they don't impose some sort of custom alternative for people with concrete/plywood or other very large background surfaces to cover.
I suppose one could mould one, but when it comes down to texture and paint you'd never get the same result.

Nice tank! :))) But, none of these fish need such a tank. So, I would do something else with it and keep these fish in 1000-litre tanks. :)

@dirkgonthier101 petrochromis are rock grazers
that mean, their diet is almost composed of algae (spirulina flakes could work, but is not enough)
you can try with cucumber and zucchini too
they need a lot of swimming place and a good rockwork if they are few so that the submissive ones can hide

@dirkgonthier101 they were wild caught specimen...and your, IMO, too!!
they are one of the most difficult fish to breed and surely not like zebra cichlid
despite of their large size, the fry are just a couple of mm (while the cyps fry are 1cm!)
take care of this jewels, they are very beautiful and interesting with their behaviour and their manner ;)
hope this "short" post has helped you a bit!! =)
