The aquarium is 1 meter witdh and have 160 litre. Normaly is this tank to little but i only keep the Xeno like a breedingtank. I don't know the name of the background anymore but i think it was a Pangua. About 2 months i will get my own house and there will i make some bigger tanks and this Xeno will be get in a 150cm aquarium with some Paracyprichromis brieni Yellow Cheek and maybe a other cichlid or catfish.

Hello all,

I've been here for a while, always learning a lot with you guys. I never put any post because... I'm just to shy. :)

Anyway... I'm a big fan of Tanganyika cichlids, and specially the sand-dwellers and also the mud-dwellers.
My english is not so good, so I'm going to shut up; here are some pictures of species that I keep:

Callochromis pleurospilus
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image

Xenotilapia flavipinnis "Mpulungu"
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image

Xenotilapia ornatipinnis
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image

Reganochromis calliurus
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image

I hope you enjoyed!

See you soon.

Welcome Cesar!
I like pics indeed. Especially Callochromis are cool :D
Your English is really good by the way, and maybe you'll post some pics of tanks? Would be lovely.

Enjoy your stay here! :D
Cheers
Piotr
