I have had 3M/5f Cyphotilpia Frontosa Kitumba in a standard 6 foot 125 gallon for a little over 6 years now. I stumbled across a deal back in July on a local fish group forum for a 180 gallon acrylic aquarium with a aqueon proflex sump. I had never done a sump before so I was kind of hesitant.
Things have gone slow but I finally got it all set up. The fish have a bit more room, and one of my females was holding this week. She either ate the eggs or they were never fertilized, but I'm hopeful to start getting some spawns with these guys soon.
The alpha male is 6 years old and now pushing 10 inches. The colony is a combination of bloodlines. 1m/3f are F1s and 2m/2f are WC. I will upload some pictures of the tank and the fish.
I know a lot fish keepers rush to get tanks up, but I have found that patience is key.
Happy fish keeping everyone.
