    Hi Everyone, UCB told me about the thread and I thought I'd jump in and see if I could help... The picture of the fish from KA is C. chrysonotus. The clear giveaway is the configuration of the spots on the side of the fish. In C. trewavasae, there are three dark spots concentrated in a line close to the middle of the flanks. In C. chrysonotus, the configuration is one dark - one feint - one dark, and they are situated higher up the flank than on C. trewavasae. It is no one's particular fault in Australia, but we do not have C. trewavasae here, to my knowledge, and we possibly never will. T

    Lol. Not hobbling now mate! Glad to hear you like it, flycaster! I'm usually in there once every fortnight, catching females and harvesting fry. Currently raising around 500 fry of various species.

    That would be a good subject title. :-)

    Lol. You'd have to get past me before you got in for a swim.

    Cheers, Josh! If anyone wants a really great example of a species profile, one of my favourite sites is www.seriouslyfish.com - but remember, use it only as a guide.

    Hi Everyone, Ged and I have come up with an idea for a new competition. We really wanted it to be constructive and educational - and fun - so here it is: ACE Forums and Labyrinth Aquarium Species Article Comp... We'd like as many people as possible to get involved - so whether you think you're a brilliant author or not - we want submissions! From now, until September 7th, we will accept articles about your favourite cichlid species. It does not matter which species it is - all you have to do is write about it and tell us everything you think we want to know about it. We will be looking part

    Hi all, sorry for the late reply! The tank is sump filtered with Marine Pure and a 15,000L/H pump. It is pre-filtered by two standpipes covered in ultrafine filter wool. I wanted to stick a link here to a YouTube video posted by the incomparable Ronnym88, but my computer isn't playing ball...lol You can put the search words "Labyrinth Malawi Tank" into Google and the result will come up. Cheers, Andrew.

    Thanks Ged! Come for another visit - it looks better now!

    Totally Chris. You can put adult Rhamphos in with small fry and so long as they're below, they're safe!

    Wow - Thanks Kristi! It was wonderful to meet you this morning! Deb and I enjoyed your visit and we're stoked that you came such a long way to see the place. Come back any time!!! Andrew.

    Hey Chris, The Rhamphos are cruising the top. They actually hunt upwards only, not downwards, which is why everything except Malawi "Usipa" are safe from them. They're actually the single most peaceful cichlid I have ever known. Spot on Rob. It's been really very interesting watching this tank evolve - and I do believe the dimensions are a huge part of it.
