Lamprichthys tanganicanus
According to Joan Fortuny (Nerita14)
Http://www.destin-tanganyika.com/Galerie/page-lamprichthys-tanganicanus.htm BLOCK I, general description
1 .- A brief comment on the fish, impressions
My impression of this fish is not the Tanganyika cichlid is a mixture of respect for their delicacy and great interest in their behavior, in fact, have been the most joy and sorrow have given me. It is certainly kind to 'meticulous'.
2 .- Sexual dimorphism
In its adult stage the males have larger anal fin in relation to the female and a color based in fluorescent blue and yellow dots. The base is silver-blue fish. It is this basis the only female color. Moreover, the male is larger.
a male in the aquarium has led me to reach 12 cm while the largest female was about 8 cm.
3 .- Food Food
these fish with NLS Spectrum, frozen shrimp and vegetable foods great contribution. 4 .-
Reproduction Reproduction is very attractive and do in front of you without any fear, they are very brazen.
The male chooses a crack between the stones and attracts up there a female, displaying all her charms that are dancing, twisting, shaking and reflections of fluorescent colors. Once in the crack together the bodies and get into it spreading their eggs and sperm. The frequency is daily, not stop. But I must say that put a few eggs each time.
BLOCK II, behavior in the aquarium
1 .- In general, what behavior developed in the aquarium?:
are passed on from one end to another strutting before the other fellow females aquarium.
mainly occupy the 2 upper thirds of the aquarium, even if they go all. Females are more static and go in groups.
2 .- peers, how behave?:
Among males do not usually attack a lot, all struts left in between them. When you make a very obscure injuries as hatched on the backs characteristics.
males to females will spend the day courting her to go to their favorite cracks, even biting the fins.
3 .- And the others?:
With fish that occupy the area and show character behave the same as among males, but because of its susceptibility to fungus they always lose out. To ignore the other fish.
BLOCK III, personal conclusions
1 .- Habitat and company:
- What habitat is of this species and consider what kind of scenery right for them?
habitat occupies the surface but the shelter of the rocks and walls should therefore result in creating free zones decorated with large well-lit (10,000 and 20.000k) to swim, preen and eat as well as darker areas where they feel sheltered . For example, with rocks on the surface or type plants Vallisneria. It also rocks on the ground where they can spawn.
- If a community tank, with whom the would gather?.
For me the most suitable combination would not join them with fish-like surface cyprids. Otherwise much as Callochromis arenicolous , Xenotilapia and rockers spilopterus closely tied to the rock type Julidochromis , N. leleupi or N. buescheri (these with care as there may be disputes over the rocks). For example, the complex pulcher not serve me. Even the shell-dwelling may be a good choice.
really anyone who does not have their space is ignored does not seek war and his colleagues have to be "similar."
2 .- Tips and Care:
Here is where I have to emphasize that no one made my mistakes. In a community tank with the right company and with the appropriate decoration, we must note that they are very sensitive to chemicals, so it must be filtered with activated charcoal and leave the water a couple of days. This got rid of what produces lower.
also are sensitive to transport (in a refrigerator) and be out of water.
I have been raising to 60 liters in a ratio 1 / 4 without any casualties.
are also sensitive to fungi and when they find that better withstand the salt, never drugs.
must also be given a lot of movement of water filtration or pumps.
The physical and chemical characteristics for Tanganyika cichlid any surface.
3 .- Type / size aquarium: Aquarium
lengthened to alienate lands in the case of the community and with a volume depending on the partners.
For example, I had a 300L and the population consisted of Callochromis pleurospilus, Enantiopus, Eretmodus and Julidochromis and were very comfortable. Then got Cyprichromis K itumba and things went wrong.
The décor in the lake surface area in installments from 0 to 10 meters recalling create shadow areas, free zones and rocks in the background.
