And i took a few short videos.

I made a thread a while back about my white calvus showing some strange behavior. According to the responses they were just establishing dominance. They are all doing fine now, but i shot a video of them doing their thing:

Very nice! I have a multipunctatus. Do you suggest having them in numbers? Are yours active during the day? I ask because I bought a juvie (that I now believe is a hybrid) and my multipunctatus has become more personable since adding it. BTW I'm lovin' the white calvus.

I have 3 that are about 3" or so now. They are pretty lazy actually lol. They tend to just lay in the rocks, they aren't really hiding... just laying there. They tend to only come out for food.

Very nice. Your tank is so similar to mine as far as stock:headbang2, except i have albino bristlenose, neolamprologus sexfasciatu, and some yellow fin added to mine too. your yellow lelupi look sweet as do the calvus and fronts! What size is your tank?

Its a 75. Its being used as a growout, i want to house pretty much the same fish in a 150/180 when they get larger. I might add a few fish, i would love to get a nice school of cyprichromis but i can't find any for sale :irked:

Is that a petrochromis? or a duboisi? Also are those yellow labs in the first two pics?

Sweet, are the duboisi changing to adult form? Just wondering, used to have some of these but, did'nt quite look the same.

I only have the one duboisi, and he is a juvenile. I don't have any experience keeping them, so i don't know how long the transformation will take, but he is only about 1.5" now.
