My First Tanganyikans

:D I bought 3 wild caught Neolamprologus multifasciatus today. Right now they're in a cycled 10g until their regular tank is ready, the sand is still blowin' :( . I have one probable male, a probable female and one who might be either. The question mark fish is almost as big as the probable male, but it's build is more slight, so we'll wait and see how it turns out. If it turns out to be male I'll have to find some more females later. I'm using some old turbo snail shells from my reef tank for shelters.

I'm stoked over these fish!!! :D Wish me luck. :D

Best of luck always J! Glad you finally got some Tang :wink:

OA--fresh! :D

The female is already making herself at home in a shell. The other two probably are males going by the way they seem to be trying to impress each other and the female. One of them goes back and forth at the front of the tank like a caged tiger, flaring it's gills. :D

I might order some F0 females from Armkes for Christmas if I don't find more locally.

Sean's giving me the hook up on some more females in a couple of weeks. :D :D :D

What a guy!!!

Good luck on your tangs Jonah, if your anything like me you'll find they have a ton of personality a lot more interesting than the malawians 8)

I liked these Tangs so much that I went out and bought some Lamprologus brichardi today. They're cooling their fins in my planted tank until the big tank/fish swap next weekend. I'm getting rid of my Lab and Sci fry next Saturday and it'll free up the 125g in my garage for the albino zebras. Once the albinos are moved, their old 29g will be the new brichardi tank.
