    Hi gert I only have them now a week ago. Bought them from 2 local Petshop. I was breeding a variety of tanganyka cichlids for over 2years. My buddy bought a petshop so I sold all my stock. I started doing research about these amazing fish so I started preparing my tank for about 3 weeks. My fish started adapting within 2 days and I have them on variety of foods. I really enjoy watching these fish at night I have some bullies amongst my batch. I currently have 15 of them at various sizes. I am currently removing the gravel after every partial water changes. I am in the process of having another big tank built. Once I get this batch established and growth up I would like to get better blood lines.

    I always wanted these species but did not have the finances but since I got established I decided to take a serious try and used the Internet to do some serious research.

    More photos

    I bought them from 2 local petshops so I do not know their parents genetics. But as time progress I will start being quality stock. For starters I bought them to see if I could manage and raise them into adulthood. My big tank that I am had built will be a show tank of quality stock. Let me start from the beginning see what works well and then take from there on.
