Love the tank setups...
What are you using for sand?

Regular aquariumsand. Small diameter, 1-2 mm.
I prefer this because a lot of my fish tend to dig a lot and these prefer very fine sand.

Colorchanging fish...

Same fish (Lamprologus callipterus), one hour between photo's

I got 6 young Synodontis polli "White Zambia" two weeks ago. I'll try to get a picture up soon, but the damn critters never stay still.

Really funny to observe. They are about an inch long, but they don't care about size. Their most favourite pastime appears to be nagging my 5 inch Lamprologus callipterus male, which then obviously results in the big guy retalliating and the small catfish scattering to all corners of the tank. Lots of activity all around, so that's always fun to see.

Fighting fish...

They really mean it when they get going, hope you didn't get any serious injuries.

No, both are fine. Only the one on the right has now firmly established his dominance. The one on the left is still swimming around quite closely. Even though this mouth-fighting thing is usually only males against eachother, I am starting to think that the one on the left is female, due to the fact that they're together a lot...

Well, it took two months but they've finally figured it out. They're a couple now, sharing the same cave and all. Which is good, because this species appears to be really intolerant of itself. I bought 6 young fish. I now have 1 pair left, and I managed to save 1 other fish by moving it to a different tank. The rest have all been killed...
