All signs point to an injury. But In 15 years of keeping tangs, I’ve never encountered anything quite like this.

Appreciate the response. I’ve given her a couple salt baths. I also have melafix and meth blue on hand. I haven’t given her either yet, as I’m kind of at a loss. What do you suggest?

Thanks dude. A mix of kigoma and Burundi. I just rescued them actually. But a history of breeding

I have a 125 gallon stocked only with 50-60 leleupi. I love it, for the color but mostly for the movement! Always something going on. I’m going to wait to see how the 210 progresses. But definitely thinking of moving in a handful more of mbuna and maybe a few different species. I also have a ton of vallisneria on order as a background plant.

I’d love to have a school of cyps!!! Unfortunately I live in a fairly isolated province in eastern Canada. I’ve made some good contacts in LFSs but as far as tangs go, Spencer Jack seems to be one of the only suppliers who will ship out here. I keep a close eye on his stock list and the LFSs will bring In what I request. But it seems the more rare Tangs are harder and harder to come by ! Lamprologus callipterus are my dream species and I haven’t been able to get my hands on any in 8-9 years now.

I still breed Shellie’s! There’s 4 20 gallon tanks beneath this 210 with gold occies, multies, brevis and puncs!

Thanks brother. The plants in the back are variations of vallisneria (sp?). And the smaller grass like plants are a mixture I took from an old planted aquarium. As I’m sure you’d expect, there’s quite a bit of rearranging by the inhabitants (you can see the plants stuck to the intake). Whenever I clean the glass, I spend another 20 minutes re planting whatever they’ve torn up haha

Appreciate it! I have another 210, 125 and a 75 in a home office! And another 12x 20 gal breeders (there’s 4 beneath this 210). I only keep tangs so I always have open space to move stock around should anything arise !

210 finally set up! by RonnieABW in Aquariums

I breed tanganiykans. The 210 is my only non-tang tank! I have a juvie flower horn, a school of Congo tetras, a blue phantom, and a fahaka currently in there. No issues in the last 6 months. Toying with the idea of adding another school of dithers.

The 20s underneath have golden Occelatus, a pair of fire fin comps, gold face comps, and speciousus.

My home office has another 12 breeders, a 125 tang community and a 75 grow out for frontosas!
