2m/7f kitumba in a 155 gallon.

first 2:30 is of my beta male.

alpha enters at the 2:34 mark. an absolute monstrosity.

there are a couple of male placidochromis phenochilus running around as well.

sorry about the quality.

Kitumba are my absolute favorite Frontosa!
Your tank and its inhabitants are absolutely spectacular.
Great job, Dunk!

Wow I must say that is beautiful tank, and really wow fish.
I dont know if you posted because you want comments but i will give my two cents. Have you considered siliconing gravel or rock to the pvc (specifically the white one ) in keeping with that dark natural look. I tried with mine, it was quick easy and looks pretty good.

i have thought about that. i was just worried that it wouldn't come out clean. do you layer it on thick?

I have to say that I thought it was one of the nicest Front setups I have ever seen, and I see nothing wrong with the PVC.
Just my 2 cents.

I agree but wouldnt it be a little nicer if you couldn't see the PVC ? Just alittle, a smidgen or iota nicer.

Ok, how about this...
I wish that Iwas creative enough to have a tank that looked that nice.

I loved your Fronts, your alpha male is incredible, but what's with the fish from the wrong lake? :)
:crutch:

Excellent, but don't get down on yourself you were creative enough to create this site.

Dunk the tank is gorgious and functional. I really should be the last one to mention PVC . If you talk to anyone who saw my tank's in the last year they'll tell you that the only thing in my tank's was pvc. When I wanted to upgrade the look I'd add a 90 or tee, pvc of course.:fun_84: Oh yea they do make them in black and I had those too. I think it's plumbing vent pipe, but the admin could probably tell you what aisle to find it on.

Jeff, you finally made me laugh!
I do remember reading an article that Black PVC pipe has higher levels of polypropelene(sp?) than white.
