March 2017 - First Mixed Species Group

I found that 6 full size N. tretocephalus were just too big for the 190 L tank ... so I traded them with a local BC Aquarist for a mixed group of T. species.

Tank Inhabitants

• 6 - T. dubosi
• 5 - T. moorii "ikola"
• 2 - T. moorii "bemba"
• 4 - T. moorii "chilenga"
• 3 - N. tretocephalus (juveniles)
• 12 - S. petricolas
