smidey Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 What tangs are available in NZ other than the tropheus & who has what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 Excuse the spelling I can't be bothered looking all the correct names up Frontosa Jullie - Ornatus, Marlieri, Transcriptus Lelupi Tropheus various species Alto. Comp and Calvus 5 bar trets (and maybe 6 bars) were here but haven't seen or heard of any for a while. There is bound to be a few more but that is all I can think of off the top of my head.

phoenix44 Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 also masked julii if they have not already been mentioned. are those shell dwellers tang cichlids? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 Unfortunately I only have he Jullie malieri I am hoping to get a few more tang species this year so will see what happens.. Apart from the ornatus (although I have heard of a few with these) and the trets you should be able to find the rest. Masked Jullie is sometimes transcriptus and can be maleri just depends what random thing the importers have been sent when they get them in We have no species of shellies allowed in NZ.

phoenix44 Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 so they are tang lake cichlids, shell dwellers and available here? I know they are on the wholesale list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 I don't think they are really classified as shellies although there is a dwarf form of shell dwelling comps on the shell dwellers list here http://www.cichlid-forum.com/profiles/c ... php?cat=14 The rest of the altos (and the ones we have here) are here http://www.cichlid-forum.com/profiles/c ... php?cat=12 classified with the neolamps and others like that.

ryanjury Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 There is probably all sorts you can stick with them especially with the varied diet you give them.. Alot of people don't recommend sticking fish that aren't vegos with them but since you feed yours meat you have heaps of options.. Some nice jullies to hang out at the bottom of the tank would be cool, as would some comps/calvus but they aren't cheap at the moment.
