Hey guys,
I can now say i have bred something that required a little skill. I just got my first mouthful of fry from my WC Cyphotilapia Gibberosa Kapampa. Everybody has told me that the females never hold for more then a few days but mine held for 25 days and she is only 5" first time breeding. I only got 5 1/2" fry from her but i am told the zaire varients only hold a couple fry.
The group consists of 5 males and 7 females in a 125 gallon from 4-8". I aquired them last november which is i'm told the last time the kapampas were exported. I have only seen 2 other wild groups in ontario so far unlike the mobas which are practically the new burundi here.
Just sharing the news,
Brad

Congratulations! It's exciting to accomplish something like that!
Sounds like she's a good little mom, and you can expect great things from her in the future!
