This is a quicklist of all documented species of Lake Tanganyika. Any underlined links point to the detailed cichlid information for that species. Tanganyika cichlids have always been my favourite tropical fish. I love the variety of shapes, sizes, and personalities that they bring to an aquarium. As I get more information on keeping and breeding cichlids added to the site, I'll link the species names to the appropriate article.

Its Copressiceps, not compressor. A calvus is a similar species as well.

Apr12 I wanted to put you that litlte bit of note so as to give thanks the moment again just for the striking ideas you've featured on this website. It's simply wonderfully open-handed with you to give publicly what a number of people would have offered for sale for an ebook to help make some profit on their own, most notably now that you could possibly have tried it if you desired. The concepts likewise worked as a fantastic way to understand that someone else have the same interest similar to mine to figure out great deal more on the topic of this issue. Certainly there are numerous more pleasant periods ahead for people who check out your site.

Im using some type Im using some type of crushed coral sand that you can buy at prtmsaet, but to reduce cost, I would recommend getting the sand substrate at the hardware store. All together, I would say it costed me about $260-$300. But that was over time. I spent little by little.
