Well I guess I will start with this one.....as I said in the other post, the maingano were not too happy about the new arrivals....as any mbuna would not, heh heh.

So, I will begin with a picture of a little tussle....notice the one on the left, looking at me like "huh?"

....wonder if he is taking bets?

Here is a picture of the Pseudotropheus acei (ngara whitetail)

He is very shy and doesn't seem very aggressive at all...

Can't wait to see him in full color!!!

I did a double-take on that first pic. Your maingano is totally identical to one of mine..... weird. I mean, indistinguishable

The two new males together....

Didn't last long though, the mpanga is pretty sure that is already his spot in the tank

Right out of the bag, he was doing "the shake" and proclaiming his strength

Hey tank looks great as always! B) I don't have a background for my tank, so I just tried your towel trick with one of my dark green towels. It convinced me that I need to get a background. I am going to go pick one out tomorrow. I think I might go for the blue or black. BTW I love you female mpanga!
