    Howzit,

    Thought I'd share some of the images I've been taking now that I entered the world of camera phones....


    Suspected male - Neolamprologus similis - getting used to it's new tank



    A couple juvenile male Tropheus Ilangi that passed through as imports - part of a group of 8, these two were in time-out at the time, they were soon separated from each other as well.




    Cyprichromis leptosoma Yellow Head Kipili

    @francoisve - can't seem to get those attachments working, uploaded correctly and what not, displaying when I try edit the post... admins? @Reedfish - Shot man! They're one of my favourites! Very busy characters! @Nawaaz - Shot man! Keep in touch re. Occies - plenty in grow-out. @Caudelia - Never too late for a small Tanganyika set-up - neat little 90cm x 33cm with some shell dwellers tucked away in the corner... decently light, nice open scape....

    Hehehe @Caudelia - you can pick up some decent tank deals on Gumtree, nothing fancy needed to keep these fellows. Pick up a quick deal, stroll on down to the beach for decor and you only have the fish to deal with... perhaps you can make a deal with one of the local breeders... ;-P

    I've never found Tanganyika tanks expensive to set-up... the livestock on the other hand... it's how it should be, no point in paying good money for a tank just to watch Neons... :tongue:

    @ Caudelia, if you are planning on getting from Jack, please can I tag with, then we can share the shipping. Please let me know when you want to order.
    @Jack Stone, I'm still very keen on the shellies. Mostly the N. Multi..
