    Re: Sharing my brevis tank

    Hey bro, I bought them from QH. This is the species name enantiopus melanogenys.
    Just take note they are very good jumpers. 2 jumped on the night itself so I'm left with 3 now.

    Re: Sharing my brevis tank

    Nice Catch Bro, Looks good if they are in a big tank. Anyway they are top dwellers or mid dwellers?
    How much u paid for them?

    I'm thinking of removing some of my tank mates especially the danio as they seems to disturb my similis.

    Re: Sharing my brevis tank

    Thanks bro. They are currently in my 3ft tank. I'm getting a 4ft tank this Friday and I will transfer them over. They are sand sifters so bottom dwellers. It's $40 per pc.
    Yeah I have come to a point where I will not mix other types of fishes into my tanga tank. It's better in the long run.

    Re: Sharing my brevis tank

    Wow Bro that's quite an expensive lot and 2 already gone within 1 day.... heart pain.

    Yup that's true that it's better not to mix with other types but most tanga fish are on the higher end of price and also size do
    play a part. Mine is a nano tank so doubt can fit any others.

    Re: Sharing my brevis tank

    Hey Bro, welcome to the tanga club! I just cleared most of my fishes (left with pygmy cories) and convert all my tanks setup to tanganyikan too.
    What fishes are you keeping?

    Re: Sharing my brevis tank

    just a little update, I bought a used 3 tier 3ft by 2ft rack 2 of the tanks being partition to smaller partitions of 2ft by 1ft (total 6 partitions) and 1 main tank.
    This allow me to have more species tanks thus providing them a safer environment.
    Filtration is a headache for me as I'm using canister for my tanks. I want to make it neat and tidy. Any suggestion on this?

    Re: Sharing my brevis tank

    I think if you did partition then the most common option is using big sponge filtration like most LFS.
    Get a Big controllable air pump and some splitter. Then you have to throw in some coral chips in the tank.

    Canister filtration will be good but very messy and power consumption.

    Another is internal filtration with low flowrate. Power consumption and messy switches need to consider.

    Re: Sharing my brevis tank

    6 partitions = 6 sponge filters. Gonna need a strong air pump.
    Its gonna be unsightly but should be the most effective method.

    Thanks for the info on NKS shipment.
    Planning to head down to Pasir Ris or QH this weekend see see look look. Now probably heading to NKS.
