My Wild Caught Aulonocara Maylandi "Eccles Reef' group

hi guys..recently acquired a group of Aulonocara Maylandi, collected from Eccles reef in Lake Malawi. they are not the most colourful of the Aulonocara group, but i have always liked them due to the "Sulphur Head" which males get. this is the name for the yellow stripe over the head of the fish. I havw 4 males and 11 females..hope to breed them. what you guys think?

 

I think they look beautiful. Good luck with the breeding.

 

Hi Sarf. They are stunning. Hope you have success breeding them. Do you know whre I can get the tanganikan BOOPs

Some nice info.

 

Stunning fish

 

Hi Sarf.
Nice fish you have there. Got myself a colony of 3m and 7fm. All doing well and almost eating out of my hand. I have wc bengas I want to sell as I am running out of space here and can't expand anymore.

 

looking really awesome....babies soon right!!!

 

Maylandis are always beuts. Hope everything goes well with them

 

Ok..so tonight i got two females which spat out babies as i was moving some to another tank..i cant count coz they so tiny but looks about 100 F1 baby aulonocara maylandi

 

Yo @sarf ... bet you @dragon8 will be more than interesred(in the fry once you raise them...).... congrats dude!! 1st spawns of w/c are usualy MUCH smaller - you are doing something right...lol

 

nicely done sarf

 

@azurekoi..thanks,i know dragon8 will be..he has become a true malawi addict..almost as bad as me.lol.actually 100fry between 2aulonocara maylandi is not that much..while the average size spawn is 30-40 amongst wc aulonocara,the maylandi and kandeensis(another wc species i still want) average 60-80fry in a spawn..but fry are TINY compared to other auloncara..i jst hope they not more sensitive.@dragon8,will let you know when they ready.lol

 

Hey very nice fishes man, and congrats with the first ofspring hope they do well.
