In the next few weeks, Lord willing, I will be adding the two beautiful trios in this video to the current Beta male in Mikula Group Nyatzi. This Beta male will become the Alpha of this new group and he shall be called Tsididi (which is Tswana for "the cold one" - the T is silent and is pronounced "si-didi"). Thank you once again, Bob & Alison at Cichlids & Herps for these lovely wild caught Cyphotilapia gibberosa (Zaire Blue Mikula) in the following video...


LOL, that was their second feeding today. I am in the process of buffing & polishing the 240 for Nyatzi and his eight females. Once that is complete, Tsididi will get his group in the video. Tsididi has not taken any significant damage to his trailers from Nyatzi and I hope he can continue to stay a step or two in front of Nyatzi as I have high hopes for some magnificent trailers for him. I love his deep dark blue hues and is extra wide black bars. Can't wait!

Here's a recent shot of Tsididi

Very nice. I know you said you use remote overhead flash. Do you have tank lights on at the same time?

Thanks guys :-)

Yes, tank lights are needed so I can focus on the subjects; however, due to the nature and intensity of the flash, the flash light is the only light captured. I'll try to dig up a video of the tank, you'll have a better idea of how they look with the tank lights. Tank lights are: shop light hanging from the ceiling with four 48" power-glo bulbs and a Coralife dual T5 HO strip on top of the tank with one power-go and one 50/50 actinic.
