Re: Request for additional ids

Don't think it's a Milomo, mate. I'm still convinced it's a Venustus - it's got that distinctive blue face and them giraffe markings. The bloke I got it from said it was a Livingstonii, but I'm not buying it.

Request for additional ids

Apologies for the rubbish photos.

1)

Ignore the bogwood for now, it's just there for the plecs and they'll be relocated later.

2) Venustus?

3)

I'll get some better pics up soon, struggling with the lighting in this tank.

Re: considering an african setup


I'd love to know the tank's dimensions, what's the length, width, and height of it. I'm thinking if you went for dwarf mbuna, you could get a species tank going, I've had no issues keeping my malawis in a 3ft tank.


I was wondering if there are any Malawis that could thrive in my tank, given its ...

Re: considering an african setup

Thanks for the advice, both.

Elise, I appreciate your suggestion, but my Rainbows are currently in a 3ft tank and I really want to upgrade to a bigger space for them. The larger species I have, like my Lacustris, are growing rapidly and I think they'll benefit from the extra room in a 4ft tank ...

Re: considering an african setup

Thanks for the advice, really appreciate it. I was really hoping to keep Malawis in the 3ft, but it seems that's not going to work out. I've had a look at Tangs, but to be honest, they're not really doing it for me. My other half is also keen on the Malawis, so I think we'll have to rethink our ...

Re: considering an african setup

Just had a quick glance at the sticky topics, and I'm really drawn to a few species - the Labidochromis Caeruleus, or sunnygold lab, the Pseudotropheus Acei, also known as the yellow tail acei, and the Pseudotropheus demasoni. I was thinking, could I possibly keep one male, two females of the first ...

considering an african setup

Apologies for my lack of knowledge, I'm still learning and not familiar with many fish names. I'm just looking for some advice, really.

My water is hard, pH 7.5, which I think would be great for certain fish. I was even considering adding coflake sand to raise the pH even more, which I think would ...
