My old F1 Mpimbwe group

Founds some pictures of these yesterday, great group I used to have, one day when I have space again for a 6ft tank tank again or bigger I'll get some more Fronts, their calm grace in contrast to Tropheus was very hypnotic!

Very nice! How old was this group what size?

[jumpman]

They were under 2 years old, I think around 18 months....I got them when they were about 2 inches in size. That was a six foot tank so gives you an indication of size, alpha was a good 10 inches, more if you include his ventral fins!

I had to move house and then sell the whole colony and tank. Sad times!

Well when we start having some photo contests, you'll have to make sure and enter one of the nicest photos you have of them. Would like to use the winners photos as a part of the sites display!

Cheers Danny,

It was actually all large bits of cork siliconed to the base and together to form the shapes, I got it with the tank and tidied it up a little bit, worked well i thought, like having holey rock without the risk of fish scraping against it.
