7 months ago i started a Tanganyika tank.
I bought 5 Synodontis polli white Zambia at my Lfs.
They are about 8 centimeter now and when i bought them they were around 5.

Here are some pictures, i hope you like them ;)





This is the tank :



[Mod edit: re-enable "Disable BBCode" so the pictures show inline --Mats]

they are precious! But can you repost the tank pic? I just see 2 pics of the cats and one duplicate. I love seeing peoples tanks!

Can you see the tank now ?

I see nothing at all(??)

beautiful! I love the grass growing over the top! Is that vallis? What is the orange fish by the sand? Cichlid?

Would you like me to fix the pics for you?

I can't see them on the thread but i've seen the album on photobucket - nice!

What is the ratio of sexes of the zambian white polli? Any spawning acivity at all?

Yes, it's Valisneria spiralis
The orange fish is a Neolamprologus leleupi.

I think i have 1 male and 4 females but i'm not sure.
They did spawn ones, but they eat the eggs themselves

Ahaa...I can see them now ...nice!

Collect up some of those eggs

At the moment i only have 1 tank, so i have no place for the fry...

Lovely setup!!!! , more pics please

You could collect eggs & put them in a breeding tap/net in the tank!

Rubbermaid tub? Sponge filter and heater is all you need....Frequent water changes and you are making some $$$$

Here are some other fish :

Altolamprologus calvus white




Lamprologus ocellatus




Cyprichromis leptosoma 'bulu point'

Nice calvus!!!

Fantastic pics bennyvis.

If I were to set up a Tanganyikan tank, I would have pretty much the same stock as you. Good choice of cichlids!

1 foto's of the Syno's, look at the skin texture

great looking fish!

Just out of interest for those of us still looking to pick up a new SLR camera...what are you using to take these pictures

Birger

They are great photos, pity about the shadow in the first one (of the last two) - S. sp(2) are a fantastic fish.

Hey,

Birger try Exif Reader .

Regards.

Thanks everybody

I use a Canon eos 300 D With a 18-55mm lens.

I have a trio 1m/2f at the moment in a spawning tank but no joy so far. male 9cm TL females 7cm Tl - pics in cat-e-log show the females somewhat larger than the males in the "pair" photos. if you've had eggs i presume they'll breed at this size - anyone aware of how big these actually get?

About 11-12cm.

Many thanks bennyvis - a little bit to go then.....
