| 1 | richb (k: 2) since 2000-03-20 to 2023-06-08, that's 23 years, 2 months; who writes, "This pair lived pretty happily in the tub until just a few months ago. One of the pair started appearing a bit tattered. I pulled it and it is recovering in a 55 gallon tank. I would like to add them to the 900 gallon sometime and see if they would spwan. Very cool, but shy. The fish I removed from the tub is now in the 900 awaiting its partner.2-2-2018: I moved the pair to the 1,000 gallon tank. They have been in this tank for proably a year now and are getting along okay. Fat and sassy." |

Other fish were Cyphotilapia gibberosa, Synodontis sp. PWZ(later replaced by Synodontis irsacae), Altolamprologus compressiceps. Sold the group of 7 granny’s 10-aug 2019.
