Woot! Just after feeding, water is full of debris because they can be so darn messy when they eat (pigs!)
Enjoy!

Awesome. How big was the tank again?

 

[Katie217]

56gals, Im going for the over crowded thing...but all but 2 of the fish in there came with the tank

 

[Panther28]

Are you sure it is a 56gallon. It looks too small for a 56 gallon tank. What are the dimentions. Even if it has odd dimension. I still doubt it is a 56 gallon tank.

 

[Katie217]

no it is, yahoo did the calculations when i got it, its like 56.32 or something like that gallons

 

[Panther28]

Well then its ok. It still looks kinda small for a 56 G. Well if you say it is then ok. By the way how are the Cons doing?

 

[Katie217]

from the view that u see, it doesnt look that deep, but it is, and its quite tall in person too.
The cons are doing.. OK i guess, the female ate the free swimming fry, and beat the male up to almost a pulp. the male is in a 5gal healing and the female is all alone in the 20gal. not this friday, but next friday im going to re-add the male, he has been out of the tank for almost 2 weeks now i think

 

[Panther28]

Oh my! Wow and I was thinking that everything was going ok with the cons. Thats pretty strange behavior. Sorry to hear about the fry.

Nice tank VERY nice fish. Your yellow lab there is one of the best i've seen. And that blue on that is up there eating might be the UnIDed one? Pseudotropheus Elongatus looks like to me.

 

[Katie217]

Yeah, ive been sorta pissed about it, so havnt posted anything about it haha. i havnt seen the male eat in over a week, and he did have like...hole in head or somehting, because he had a white dot on the middle of his head that sorta looked like a hole, but then i put him in the 5gal with primafix, and the white thing healed within 2 days. but hes still not eating...that ive seen, so tonight i might tempt him with his fav food...bloodworms! i hope he makes it

 

[Katie217]

Thanks Matt, are u talking about the...larger yellow lab? or the smaller one? because the larger one (male) when hes stressed he has a VERY dark 5 oclock shadow...ill try to get a pic of him and the female

 

[Firebug]

That made me want cichlids!! haha..COOL video, Katie!

 

[Katie217]

ZOMG get ur butt out of ur house and go get some

 

[silver dollars]

Nice Tank Katie!!! I wish i could do a tank like that

 

[Katie217]

hmm and i forgot to say Matt, i dnt think its a Pseudotropheus Elongatus, the colour of the fins is way different...but its a possibility

ill try to take a pic when hes stressed, his colours darken alot when hes stressed or trying to kick somones butt

 

[Cichlid-Man]

Watch out on those bloodworms, protien heavy = bad.

There are different varients of Pseudotropheus elongatus, but i'd be willing to bet money on thats what he is. From what i saw on the video. Especially the 2 black lines on the top and bottem of the tail with yellow in between.

Possibly the varient of Pseudotropheus elongatus "Mpanga".

Look how many elongatus there are. Akvariumas.lt

 

[Katie217]

oh jeeze, they're soo many! im going to go look at my fish right now, then see what he might be...i really wanna know.
but do u have any idea what the large really dark blue one is? i havnt been able to ID that one at all
