LOL!!! I thought this was gonna be another spammers thread!! LOL!!

Good luck with finding the girls.

 

nah all cool been to the petshop where i got him and a female(dead) but they dont have any of this species anymore. hopefully some local malawi cichild lovers will be able to help here in capetown

"Msobo" is another zebra cichlid. Males have a blue/black base color with light blue bars and spots against the dorsal fin. Females are orange/yellow. This species is found in the higher areas of the lake . It feeds on algae and plankton. When hungry it will also eat the plants in your tank. Males dig holes against the rocks and will protect them at all cost. Hope this helps..

 

Which petshop did you purchase them from?

 

that was tropucam or somthing like that

 

N1 value centre or Boston Bellville?? Well both has the same owner

 

they were in parlands but moved. they are now close to bayside mall, tableview, capetown

 

Try calling some of the other LFS's...they might have stock

 

Any websites with contact details ?

 

Not sure if they will have but no harm in trying-
Sams aquarium
and pet centre in athlone

 

Oeps... Copied this from the rules of the forum.

Non-sponsor LFS's may be mentioned by people not affiliated with them however contact details are not allowed.

 

thanks alot man

 

You can also try contact Sarf or Rowland here on TASA as they have some stunning Malawi's as well and if they can't help you will most likely be able to head you off in the right direction

 

Now why did I get the wrong impression....... :bigsmile:
I thought of something totally different....

 

Let's find the SOURCE!

You may mean EcoPets
I know they moved thrice in the past few years.
Now near 7-11 and a pizzeria?

They coming to see me tomorrow ..I'll ask them where they got those 'msobo' from .

 

Is this not same as a Melanochromis Johannii? I have 2 x males in my tank. I did not realize that the female was so opposite of the male!
