    Saw a full-grown adult at a LFS last year, and knew right then I had to have one in my tank! Went back to the same store a couple days ago for some supplies. They had some good looking juveniles, and I had room on my grow out. Best impulse purchase I ever made!

    I loved my eye bitter when I kept Malawians. I have been keeping tangs for 20+ years and one of my favorites in the Altolamprologus Compressicips. Brothers from another mother.

      Thanks! It was in the tank. I really liked it for awhile but changed it up recently. Here's the video we did on the install of the background:

    What up brother. I've had a few of these fish over the years and the ones I've had were gorgeous but unfortunately they were killers so i had to rehome them. Now like all African chiclids sometimes you can find one that's not a killer. I decided to get a strigatus which looks rather similar and not as aggressive or at least the large male i have is peaceful. Later bro love you're podcasts!! How about a profile on the fossocromis rostratus.

      Thanks for watching! Aquarium Adventure in Hoffman Estates is the usual spot. SR Aquaristik in Elgin is a great spot for larger pieces

    In few years on the lake I never seen this fish amongst the rock. Only time I have seen the was in patches of reeds right on the shore. There they stay stationary angled head down stalking fry of other fish who do hide in those reeds.

      It didn’t sit flush against the back or stay in place very well. Liked it overall though

    These fish need real or plastic Val. for them to act naturally I grew mine from 1 1/2 inches all four act so natural when placed in a natural habitat with caves and floating plastic ivy. I make my own frozen food cooked and chopped shrimp, also tuna and small sinking pellets I don’t feed big pellets due to bloat emphasize Small pellets I do not over feed. These fish 10 second rule food all gone they do not eat everyday in the wild. If fed daily small amount only. Just my input Freddie Vara marine biologist 👍😎👊🏻
