I have 5 tanks;

130 Gallon: Nasuta Burundi, Microlepidotus Kigoma, Gnathachromis, Goldhead Comp, Petracola, Meliagris (Stappersii), Phyllonemus Typus, and Tricoti

125 gallon: Furcifer Kabogo, SpeckleBacks, Enantiopus Melanogenys and White Calvus

110 Gallon High: O. Boops, Leleupi, Eretmotus Kigoma and L Brevis

50 Gallon Breeder: Enantiopus Kilesa and Mtoto Cyps

50 Gallon Breeder: Xeno Ndole and Paracyp Velifer

I, as some of you know, got a group of Benthochromis Tricoti and they are not very happy so I want to shuffle some fish around. The 125 is set and no changes are going to occur and the 50 Breeder with the Xenos is not going to change either. I may have to sell a group of Feather Fins.

I am thinking of moving the Nasuta to the 110 and selling the Boops or Moving the Kilesa to the 130 the Nasuta to the 110 and the Boops to the 50 breeder (temporarily). The Mtoto will go in the 130 as well and the Microlepidotus to the 110.

What does everyone else think?

8 that are mixed sizes

3.5" - 4" the biggest, a breeding group

I think Boops fry are easier to sell and the fish are better looking than the nasuta. If you had to move a group I'd move the Nasuta instead. (opinion)

I was surprised to see you had leleupi in a mixed collection. I've always found them very aggressive and would have thought they'd upset your eretmodus.

If I had your problem I think I'd get a 180 :partay:

That is a good point. They will most likely be in the for sale section soon, as well as the leleupi. By the way this group (Leleupi) is only aggressiive tword themselves.
I think the Male Boops keeps everyone on their toes:1devil:

I agree. The boops look much better than the nasutas...

They would look really nice at a certain auction coming up in early April...:partay:

Today I came home and took out the Nasuta and Microlepidotus and replaced them with E Kilesa and Cyp Mtoto. Four hours later and the Tricoti are out. Still a little nervous but out. The Nasuta are in a 50 Breeder w/the Micros (4 of the 11, 2m/2f) and they seem fine for now.

I have my fingers crossed :a-okhand::bandit:
