I have always loved red top trewavasaes. I don't have them in my current tank but have kept them for years. Great fish :thumb: One of my top three!
Couldn't agree more with you, gator! I always loved these fish. I had a 75g with only them in the past. I took some pictures I will be uploading. Hopefully they won't be too mean with the rest of the fishes in there
@ eoconnor, yup, rules are there to be broken for sure.
Although you can't compare me keeping some species that MAY cross breed with the rule you broke.

In your case, that involved fish's health, since you were keeping an acid water fish with an alkaline fish and from a different Lake..with different water requirements. I would never try that, even though i know I could keep them with my mbunas if I obey'd some simple "rules". I have kept many tanks and most likely broke many rules... but sometimes you just need to have your own experience(like you did!) and follow your instincts cause fish keeping isn't and will never be an "exact", precise science. Like an old author used to say, the only thing right in this hobby is to put some water.
BTW, I forgot to include the Kenyi "girl" I have. She will be out too, but she looks so pretty that I decided to let her stay for a little more.. :fish:
