Breeding Afra

[why_spyder]

I forgot to put up pictures, oops.

I've found that a good strain of anything will make for good stock. And if you have a great camera - or know someone that does - a great picture will sell the fish.

"Pride and Joy"
Cynotilapia sp. 'Lupingu'

Cynotilapia sp. lion 'Lion's Cove'

Cynotilapia sp. mbamba 'Mphanga Rocks'

"White Boy"
Cynotilapia sp. white top 'Hara'

I also have some Cynotilapia edwardi 'Cobwe at this time. Making arrangements to get some Cyno. afra 'Mara Point', Cyno. afra 'Lumbila', and Cyno. afra 'Nkhata Bay'.

why_spyder those are awesome pics and great info. I think they are such a beautiful cichlid!!! Especially those Cynotilapia sp. white top 'Hara' If you are ever looking to get rid of a few But really thanks for all the great info
guys!

I have a female of the white top holding - and I have some fry from them. The plan is to selectively breed all my Cyno's to get some really nice strains.

I only have 1 afra, he has had fun with making hybrids with everyone...

Anyways here is my Cynotilapia Afra Ndumbi

Ikevi that is a nice looking fish. Is he the boss of the tank or is he lower on the ladder?

I keep c afra galileo,san sanga and just got in some lions cove.all breed pretty easily.pretty fish some of my favorites

C afra galileo = Cynotilapia sp. white top 'Hara'
san sanga = Cynotilapia sp. mbamba "Sand Senga"
lions cove = Cynotilapia sp. lion 'Lion's Cove'

I'm guessing that the second two are right.
