What's that?

sorry i'm talking like i'm in a cichlid forum. the correct name are lamprologus multifasciatus or multies(common name). they are small lake tang cichlids 3/4"- 1.5". the sleep,breed and hide in small shells. very interesting to watch.

If you post it in Tankscape. I think more ppl will be intrested since it has a freshwater section.

i do keep africans and a lot them-many are off springs of each other. I will go thruough your list and see what happen if I can foster some.

Oddly enough, mine do not stay in the shells. I have tons of shells( I even give them glass coffee containers with sand and moss in side as small caves) for them but they still just like to swim in the open. I am sure, one day they will be eaten by my big Frontosa

 

[scarf_ace1981]

yes one day the frontosa will snap and gobble them up or maybe not.
i've posted on cichlid forum but i know some reefers also have africans thats why i posted here.

This is another very active local forum, with a trading section,

They are primarily fresh water, but also saltwater too. Anything aquarium.

How long you can you hold the fish before taking down the tanks

 

[scarf_ace1981]

^^ a month or two. no rush

 

[baysideben]

how many of the lab textillis do you have?

 

[jnfallon]

I can work them (except the fry) into some tanks I have here, but don't want to spend much $$ as my reef tank has made me broke. I will be in Nassau County tomorrow picking up some fish, if you wanted to meet up. ( I live way out east )

Let me know.
