These guys are starting to get nice size and colors, I have had a few spawns from them already and was able to save one batch that is already up to around 1.5" and starting to color on the biggest one:





Looks to be a male and females sparring off.


Young subdom male with color, probably 2nd in charge


#1 Alpha male of the young group

Very nice Chad!


That Alpha looks great.

Is that all you do is Mbuna?Just Curious.Mbuna are my favorite as well but its seems now Im moving into a few more Haps

Did you see that Ad reclassified alot of the Ps. Species to Metriaclima?

Probably 75% mbuna 15% Synodontis 13% Haps 1% Peacocks 1% oddballs like Endler's, Clown loches, Bristlenose. Normally I keep one species of Aulonocara, but right now I added a group of young Maylandi Sulphur heads, and I have a pair of my old young Flametails left, but I plan to move the flametails on to the LFS or a local if I find someone that wants to dabble with them. Right now I have Spilonotus Tanzania, Rostratus, and Champsochromis. The Spilonotus are medium sized adults, the rest are babies yet. Now I need to figure out where I can fit a 120G at. fishy

Something like that. LoL Yes I think I did see something about the Metriaclima thing in the new Konings book. I am letting a friend barrow mine, will have to check into it again once I get it back.

Tres Bien! So so cute little babies!!!
