John,

My experience is  very different. My A. thomasi were F100 or something like that.
They lived in an 18x16x10h in. (45x40x25h cm) tank with a coarse sand bottom and
a few rocks and plants. After the first 3 or 4 tries of spawning and eating fry,
they started pumping out fry until I had to separate them. I was flooding the
market with them! Now I have the same problem with Anomalochromis sp. Guinea! Go
figure.
