New Cyprischromis Leptosoma

Bought these recently from a forummer. Have a total of 8 adults (3males, 5 females) and 15 fries now. The adults are housed together with my frontosas...yeah..once bitten twice not shy..:) Should be safe for now as my fronts are not big enough to have these adults as supper yet.

Eheim 2026

Bought another set of Eheim 2026 (2nd hand) to reinforce the filtration for my main tank. Was previously using a Fluval 4 Plus internal filter. It works well, but lacks the biological part and cleaning it is quite a hassle.

Was glad that the filter works first time. 2 months back , I had bought a 2nd 2028 from a forummer zhuzhu in arofanatic which turns out to be an old, spoilt piece of shit. The posting could even dare say it's 4months old. That idiotic guy made use of his gf to sell the cannister, feigning ignorance when I question on why it wasn't working. It was such an unhappy episode. Treated it as a lesson learnt, only got myself to blame for not testing it before purchase.

Anyway for $110, it's quite a steal. I am starting to learn how to bargain now. haha.

More Pics

More pics of my "planted" front tank. The contrast between the green plants, blue fronts and black backdrop is startling. No camera tricks here. The fronts look so blue.
