Amazing photos as usual, Angel! I really like your deepwater set-up, very simple and very natural looking - great work! :)

All the best, Thomas

Many thanks to all for your kind compliments.

Jesper,
Maybe mine is nice, but let me tell you your 1700 is a truly masterpiece.

No Fred, are not mine...but give some time :wink: I have purchased from a Burundi importer so they should be pond raised. They are now just 5 cm and will stay on that tank for only a few months. I am plannig a 2000 liter tank for them...

Very best wishes
Angel

Imi,

Your taste in fish is superb! Your C.F. Mbete is looking good. I hope his girls are getting ready too!

Your O.V. Zongwe is gorgeous too! Those are very aggressive boys, aren't they?

I have a suggestion for the tank with the melanogenys, please peel off that salt water background and paint the glass on the back of that tank with black acrylic paint. Your fish will show so much better.

Great taste!

Tony

I can not quite understand what you mean to strengthen your modular building??
In the case of Back to Nature modules?
Or is it home-made modules in styropor ?

Congratulations on your fish and pics, Karlos, they are very nice indeed!

I would like to see more pics of those quite odd "OB" nasuta's; are them WC or tank bred?

Thanks, Paolo
