cooder Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Hey shon, You said you are keeping or kept Trigs. What is your opinons about them because im thinking of getting some for my 4 ft community tank. Ive got N.Leleupi, N.Brichardi, J.Ornatus and hopefully some cyps soon. Would i be able to keep some of these with my fish? And how many could i keep? Cody Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shon982 Posted February 14, 2011 Author Share Posted February 14, 2011 Hey cody Yeah I have a pair of Trigs in a 3ft and they go crazy when they see a fish in the neighbouring tank! That's my experience anyway So I'd say, no for a community tank unless the fish are bigger than them, having said that. They might just be flaring up and not attacking, I haven't put them with other fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psychofoai Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Awesome pics...thanks for sharing. hi shon nice selection of tanganyikans. any pics of the ruziba or are they still small. absolute crackers when they show their colour. the chimbas are one of my favourites as well, well done. is there much agression with them? cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shon982 Posted February 18, 2011 Author Share Posted February 18, 2011 Hey thanks for the comment Nah the ruziba are still small, I got 10 but lost 3 so far same with the ventralis zongwe. But I have a feeling that I have 2 males and 5 females in both colonies... Any tips with sexing at a small size? I noticed that two of them have a more distinct long head shape and others (I think females) have a rounded head No aggression at all with the chimbas 3 males and 5 females I think, I got them at adult size for $200! Anyone know where to get: flavipinnis, melanogenys, sumbu Comps, melagris? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
