I'm a little dissapointed in all the reposted pictures. If I'd known that could fly around here I would have reposted my pic from a few months ago hoping that there wouldn't be any arrow's and the rest of us would actually have a shot.

Josh. . . you love being sick. You're a freakin' hypochondriac. . .

I was wondering if you know how they were made. I have both and would be interested in trying to hybridize a clutch if I can match the conditions. I'm not normally for the idea of hybrids but that just seems like a fish that could have the best of my two favorite S.A.'s

Hey, how ya been TM? Didn't know you were doing mbunas now. Alright, normally the rule of thumb is about 18 days after you've noticed her holding. Just wait until her mouth is so full that she can't quite close her mouth and she looks like she's going to let them go any minute. . . then wait 3...

While I agree that you should do whatever you like. . . the highlight of a fish tank is fish. . . hence the name FISH tank. They seem to be out a lot more in the new setup so I'd say keep it that way. The shells are a bit much though. . . JMHO

It sounds like you're rearranging their habitat so I'm thinking you just have jackass fish. Are they actually beating each other up or just chasing a lot? Severely damaged fins and loose scales means hospital time but just a few torn fins can be normal in establishing territory. If you're just...

If you really want the best color and the healthiest fish feed nothing but Wardley's Tropical Mix. You can always trust the giant blue can of flakes!!!

If you had spent 20 on a kenyi you would have been totally ripped off. Even 20 for a demasoni that isn't of good size is too much to pay. Learn before you shop. . . or go research before you buy what you're looking at. Ignorance is how small pet shops make their money.

After looking at some google pics I think you're right. The usishya variety has the same tail pattern and coloration. Thanks for the great ID. Like I said, I knew it wasn't a sunshine but I wasn't about to tell the manager that.

It shouldn't be a problem as long as there's no females for them to fight over. Check closely though b/c individual compatibility is different. If you don't believe me ask my 6in male JD that's in my mbuna tank :oP

Nothing too expensive I hope. . . it's just not worth it for the money it costs.

It's VERY hard to tell them apart unless you have wild caught specimens. Yellow labs are one of the most inbred and commercialized of all the cichlids so the gender lines get blurred. Normally the ones with the most black are typically male but that doesn't always work nowadays. They can start...

This was marked as a sunshine peacock but I knew it wasn't. I didn't mention anything because I was talking with the manager and they have a tendancy to mark fish up if they realize it's unusual. Here's a link to a few pics I was able to snap. He's new so he's still hiding a lot. Please let me...

Semantics? :wall:

Awesome, of all the accidental breeding I've had I never got cats. Can't wait to see the babies grow up. . . just don't let them breed with daddy. . . :o(

How aggressive are your hybrids? Do they get the mean attitude from both parents or are they like some mutants who don't have any aggression?

F*ck the cost. . . to heck with being frugal. . . nothing but the best for my fish. . . Wardley's Tropical Mix all around and don't be stingy! :headbang2

Anyone talking about auratus changing sex just doesn't realize that ALL the babies look female until they get about and inch or two. I breed M. Chipokae for my lfs's and they are much the same. They're hard to sell b/c they all look the same until they get old enough to show adult coloration...

How about a family of mer-people? That would fill your monster tank. Seriously though if you want something self sustaining and even able to make some money go with some high quality frontosas.
