Melanogenys + Paracyprichromis

[Charles]

Melanogenys... This group of frys consists of 29 fish. Here is one of the male showing off... He is only a little over 2" long. And he is making crater, dancing/shaking, and starting to show color.
This group is on hold for a hobbist. I know I am going to be sorry getting rid of this group.
Here is a couple pictures...

Your tanks must be amazing. How many tanks do you have anyways? Are all of these species in separate tanks or do you have large tanks with several species in each?

[Charles]

I don't have many tanks.

Frontosa Kitumba in a 6 foot 125 gallon.
Paracyprichromis + melanogenys juv. in 3 foot 33 gallon
Troupheus Ilangi in a 4 foot 75 gallon

and a couple 10 gallon for frys.

Apparently you don't need many tanks to do things right :smile: . I find that space utilization is the key - I use every bit of my tanks - bottom, middle, top, and work species in together that won't cross. I can have several species of Livebearers being selectively bred in one 10G, type thing.

You're selling off lots of fishies - are you making room for different species?

[Charles]

That you have to wait and see :)

But the melanogenys are just juv. I did not want to keep them anymore cause I felt like I have learnt what I can with them and their behavior :)

[Melody]

Wait and see?! I am very bad at that. I guess I have little choice in the matter though :laugh: .
