 Hello everybody
Still new here, I moved to Detroit almost 6 months ago I finally I managed to stock my aquariums yesterday. 2 shipments received yesterday  :)
pls see some photos below. Sorry for my poor photo skills and take into account that all the fishes came just this night so less than 24hr in the tank.
Quarantine tank nr1:
WC Cyprichomis  microlepidotus sibwesi - some 4-5in beasts.
F1 Cyphotilapia Gibb. Zaire Lupota

Tank 2
Tropheus moori ilangi nkamba bay and tropheus gold kiriza

Congrats nice looking fish. Nothing cuter than baby fronts! :) :)

Nope, he didn't have any.
Found them in Minnesota, the guys on Cyphos.com using name Fisher.
Great experience with him, I recommend.
Rest of fishes coming from Laif from Old World.

a few of Ilangis starts to show up amazing colors just after 2 days in the tank. I put them into a tank when i've already had Kiriza Gold, but  each single stone now is taken by some Ilangi...battle for domination have been short...:-D

Male Ilangi are notoriously aggressive...only to be rivalled by some of the red species...how many in your group?
