For anyone who reaaally likes Polytperus sp. as much as I do.  Grin
Currently home to P. ornatipinnis, P. delhezi, P. palmas polli and P. weeksii (which has not yet come out of hiding) as well as one female Greenwoodochromis christyi, one male Gnathochromis permaxillaris (who won't come out of hiding cause of the G. christyi) and one male Neolamprologus marunguensis.

with flash


without flash (the palmas polli on the left is screaming at me apparently)


Fat P. delhezi, the glutton.




P. bichir lapradei. Too cool to care about anything.




P. ornatipinnis, resident wimp.




P. palmas polli. Anybody like HAM?!  Roll Eyes


Nomming




Buddy shots! These two seem to always be near one another.




Greenwoodochromis christyi.


Neolamprologus marunguensis.


Hoping to get some shots of the weeksii if and when it ever decides to come out and join the rest of the gang. So far I've only seen it come out and eat for the first time since I bought it and quickly went back into hiding.
Of course, I'll be upgrading in time and hopefully by then the smaller senegals and endli will have grown out enough to be housed with the big kids.
Can't wait for this guy to get some size on him!  bunny


Thanks for guys, hope you enjoy!  Staright Jacket

Bichers are highly addictive. Prehistoric looking, full of attitude, what's not to love?

Thanks for the kind words everyone.  Grin

Cholly, GIVE IN. There has to be a kitchen counter you could squeeze another tank on. I TV you don't reaaaly need anymore? A couch!? 

Thanks again!

Jen,

Those fish are just too cool for school. Talk about having some unusual fish to start a conversation piece in your living room.  thumbs up

What is that they are feeding on? Great pics by the way, and very cool fish. I planned on getting some to put in with my Rope fish, but learned they are too aggressive. That just give me an excuse to get another tank.
