i like that dark one at the end. pretty cool.

what is thier personality like throughout the day?

they are a great fish such a diff body type than then most cichlids

The Vic's are still growing fast, I have had to separate the males because of combat. The females keep loosing the fry they hold so I'll start stripping them at about 7 days to see what is going on.

could be stress from all the males in the tank? Or do you separate them?

Your male in the picture is really starting to show hints of the spectacular colours these fish grow into.

All but the dominant male have been sent to bachelors quarters. Another couple months and they should have full color. I hope the females will settle down, I want to strip a few to see if the fry are healthy, then I'll try to isolate the holding females to see if they will hold to term.

how many species do you breed right now

Well Kigoma and Bismark fronts, 2 kinds of Calvus ,and 2 comps , Julidochromi marleri, Kigoma and Kerenge island cyprichromis , the enantiopus kileasa. So I guess 10, 7 of which have successfully bred. Oh and I forgot the Victorians so add three more specie but still working on success in breeding them. Maybe if I put in the back seat of an old camaro........



Does anyone else hate the spell check on an iPad? Kileasa becomes kielbasa .

hahaha kielbasa !! didn't know they breed!

and wow thats a lot of fish its awesome you do such a good job! o u supply a store or just people?

and yes the back seat might work for sure !!

I am just short of opening an online store, but sales in the northwest have been brisk...I have orders about a year out on some species.
