Besatz
Cyphotilapia gibberosa "Mikula"
- Started with 16 young F1 animals (4-6cm)
- Selected 8 females when the grew up and added a WF male to the group
Altolamprologus compressiceps Gold Head "Mutondwe"
- Wild Caught couple
Neolamprologus leleupi
- 1 male / 1 female
Synodontis polli white Zambia
- 10 (male/female ratio unknown)
Mastacembelus tanganicae
- 2 (male/female ratio unknown)
- Mastacembelus is a risk with gibberosa but my gibberosa were too small to eat the eels.
- Now they have grown up they still don't attack or eat the eels.
Lamprologus similis
- Colony
- This aquarium was too small for both these agressive shelldwellers and gibberosa
- The gibberosa did NOT eat the similis but:
- When the gibberosa were small they got attacked by the similis too much.
- When the gibberosa grew up it was the other way around. Especially around feeding time they would throw over the shells to get the food that was under them.
Wasserwerte

Tap water from the Netherlands is very well suited for Tanganyika so I don't have to prepare any water.
