See quite a lot of nice looking Petrochromis when I was overseas but never dare to bring them back as I was told they are aggressive towards tankmates.

What abt your comm, Ken ? how do they fair ?

Yes, petros are quite aggressive, mostly to their own kind, but sometimes to other fish as well, I keep them in large groups and have added a Wanamaker, believe it helps in reducing aggression.. So far the only problem I am having with them is that they do not eat pellets and lost a few of them due to starvation =(

Nice collections Kenneth, yah the tanga section seems a little quiet...

I couldnt find my hands on shellies etc in the market. There was a time, NKS has a few varieties, recently hard to find as well..

Wow... how many fishes in a tank? They look nice esp the first set of pictures...

Thanks, I believe NKS has some occelatus now.

I have about 30-40 fish in a 6x2x2.5 they are just tropheus and petros. The mix works well for now, no major aggression issues, however the moshis do not colour up well as they are being dominated by the longolas.

I will try to do some updates soon =)

The moshis are really great fish! They colour up very nicely as long as they are not stressed.

yah true like the color, seldom see yellow tanganyikan fish.

Too bad, I do not have enough tank space for it.
