My new tanganyikan tank...

[Abhishek]

Since its a tanganyikan setup I guess the pH would be over 8 and the water would be moderatley-very hard... dont you think growing bolbitis would be a challenge in there ??

Well Vijendra, the water hardness is moderately hard..
The bolbitis has started anchoring to the wood,lets see if it can survive...

I would suggest some rock structures rather than driftwood

Sure Jibran bhai.. Will rescape it soon once I get the black sand..
And once I get a confirmed pair of them will remove the rest. Do you think I need more caves then?

Please let me know where are you getting black sand from? IF you dont mind Abhishek

What you actually need is mounds of rock structures or large conches

Because you need to create conical caves such that the female can move in and the male can only fertilize from outside but not go inside

If you provide one or two mounds or may be a few conches they will select a cave that suits the female

WOW, caribsea cichlid sand is the best whats the source? and how many bags for a 4x1.5x2 tank?

[sumer]

Haha.. When you know that you will have to rescape the tank, why do you scape (or let) it that way?

[Abhishek]

Sure Jibran bhai will make more caves
This was more of an experimental one

@Nikhil, I dont know about Delhi-NCR, in Bangalore its available with bloo aqua studio.

@Sumer - kake it was more of an experimental one to see if drift can be used
Will change the scape coz heard black calvus looks more beautiful in black sand
