Re: we call it "Common Dream" 4,022 gallons

No the tank was 14000, lmao..... But thoughs frontosa or Gibbersa moba are freaking amazing looking!!!!! Its so cool that when you do a big water change you can go in the tank and sit with the fish.... I would love to get some snorkling gear and swim with them.... think it would be what I do itleast once a weekend!

The only thing Iwouldve done differently is make it lake specific instead of all rift lake fish.... like i wouldve done a tanganyika tank and added my favorite fish, (i will never own cause they grow to 3 foot) the empress.... then i would add frontosa, petrochromis, tropheus, and random other sand dwellers, shell dwellers, and some cyps, to swim in schools in the middle of the tank..... but thats just what I wouldve stocked the tank... otherwise, IT PERFECT :cheers:

I LOVE IT :( (tears of happiness)

haha sounds good.

and when the frontosa get in the tank for a few days, they start get wild. cause bigger tank makes them feel in the lake. and 9 of small size fish, 3'4', were missing. and found a half body of compressiceps. we thought the killer is frontosa, cause they are the biggest in the tanks.

I really enjoyed this topic until the crab. Poor thing :(

Is that a rift lake crab? Malawi or Tang?

It's a super nice tank!

yeah, i dont think I would ever keep a crab with fish.... They would eat everything, and nothing could stop them... except an giant empress cichlid. :) need some of thoughs in there.
