So i am setting up tank dedicated to get some mouth brooders to bread. I am thinking P. Saulosi but i am not positive if i am getting them. Do you think that these fish are easy to breed? or what are your opinions to get? thanks

Pseudotropheus saulosi is a great fish and relativly easy to breed , allthough i have found them on the aggresive side , just start out with small group , males will turn blue females stay yellow , allthough it is known for female to take on male colouration at times , theese happen to be the first africans i bred ,many many years ago

Easiest to breed would be the yellow labs.Saulosi are great in larger groups.I had 5 m 12f that I just gave to a friend yesterday.The males can play rough with the girls and each other.
My group and all the other people I know with them ( a lot) have no problem with a species tank or mixed tank with them breeding! They breed like mad!
looks like i am going to get them...can anyone offer any tank mates? I am thinking about eletric yellows mabye?
Try something that's not blue or yellow, like red zebras for example (even though labs would be fine, with other species you'll have more color variation in the tank).
that is exactly what i am llooking up right now...i know red zebras are on the aggresive side and then peacocks are on the less aggressive side and i feel the P. saulosi are in the middle. Does anyone have experience with others such as red zebras or peacocks(probaly not)?
