New Tangs

just got a shipment of new tangs in. bassetman and i did a group buy. he got 4 enantiopus kilesa and i got 9 black congo white pearl calvus (was supposed to be 10 but i had 1 DOA ), and 5 muzi gold head comps 1 of which was a bonus . here's some pics.

The kileasas look great.Looks like 2 males 2 females. Too bad about the doa, was he trapped in a corner of the bag? The Comps and Calvus look good, I remember when mine were that small.

Very nice -- love those altos.

next year they'll look like this.

can't wait till they get big. i'm interested to see what their growth rate is really like. i've heard it's painfully slow. the DOA wasn't trapped in the corner. just laying on the bottom. the bags were shipped on their side. Razzo really did a nice packing job. no complaints there. it sucks, but it happens. he gave me a bonus muzi though so no big deal.

They should gain an inch or so in the next year, their body shape will greatly change as well.

got some new tangs Monday from Out of Africa NJ. 26 Tropheus Duboise Maswa and 16 frontosa Kigoma. all about 1". got a sweet deal on all of them. here's some pics.

Looks great Ian. I hope they do well for you. I love the tropheous ,make sure the get plenty of veggies in the food.

they will. i bought some of the spirulina flake the breeder has been feeding them and i bought a bunch of Ken's Trophs lovers flake i will slowly mix in and ween them over to.

Cute trophs. Looking forward to seeing them grow.

thats an interesting background for sure. reminds me of a stained glass window. kind of a neat effect. too bad its not translucent (you could easily have thrown a light back there and made it look like a window) really hoping youll share some insider secrets as to how you made that

I know this is an old post but I am interested in Calvus Black - Congo and wonder if anybody has any. Starting my tanks back up after moving and am wanting something different.

Start your own thread in the for sale/market section and ask there. You will get more hits. But please read the market rules.

We want all for sale section headings to look like: WTB - Calvus Black - Congo - your location - PU/Meet (what ever you are willing to do) Good luck in your quest.
