Dakafall   Banned Posts: 218 Kudos: 224 Votes: 7 Registered: 14-Nov-2004  | i'm gonna be getting a new 125 this spring (if i keep my grades up) and i'm either going to move the JD, GT, Tire Track Eel, 2 Dojos, and the Sailfin (yea, i know it's overstocked) to the new 125, or start a Tang Featherfin tank in the 125, anyone know of any good Tang Featherfins that would work in either a 55 or a 125? i'm quite fond of the Cyathopharynx foai, or the Ophthalmotilapia ventralis (Masanza), but i LOVE  the Cyathopharynx furcifer MoliroDaka<<<<  Last edited by Dakafall at 10-Feb-2005 00:23 |

There are several different locale variants and all are nice. I have 'Utinta' myself and I just love them.  |

littlemousling  Conchiform Posts: 5230 Registered: 23-Aug-2003  | The Jumbo types can hit 7 or 8", but the non-jumbos stay around 4", and females closer to 3". They're lovely fish. -Molly Visit shelldwellers.com! |
