Endangered Vics

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Nice pickup, just make sure you dont mix the ruby greens with the flamebacks, because they can look very similar and can hybridize very easily. Post some pics when you get it.

A good one to breed would be Xystichromis phytophagus(Christmas Fulu). They are beautiful as adults. Very rare and endangered in the wild. You can find some small ones on ebay right now. They usually command a pretty high price though and people seem to fight for them. They are a good one. If you want more of a challenge try Astatotilapia nubila. Extremely aggressive victorian and you shouldn't keep a male with a female until she is full of eggs and ready to spawn otherwise he might kill her.

someody has three of them for 70 on ebay right now.
 
yeah that same person has a buy it now for $129. By the time the auctions for that group of three end most of the time they are higher than $129 and I saw one go for $160 a few weeks back. They eat up those christmas fulu on ebay. tydus i'll post picks of the setup after I get it. It's going to take a week to set back up and I have to take 4 trucks with trailers to move the whole thing. It's over 110 tanks so every species has it's own tank so there won't be any hybrids. A lot of rare fish and mostly malawi.

Crap! I can not wait to see this.
 
Yeah neither can I. Taking 6 people with me to pickup and setting it back up by myself with help from my brother when I get back. should be interesting. the species I will have for breeding purposes makes it all worth it.
 
Yeah, complete with stock and everything. mostly wild caught. The guy actually went to africa and caught some of the fish he has. Those are the nakota bays and mkondowe that i won't get. I will get F1 fry from him though.
 
Wow freaking amazing man. Just sweet. I can't wait to see all of this. Would you be willing to sell some of the ruby greens?
