Fav Vics

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Ive got some Zebra Obliquidens AkA Astotilapia Obliquidens that I'll get pics of once I have my tanks setup after the move in 2 weeks. The dominant male is only now coming into his full colours anyways, and hides in the amphitheatre currently in their home most of the time so pics wouldn't be as good now. I also have plans to get some Ruby Greens from the same guy I got the Zebra O's from, also after the move.

I also want to add either, or both of these species to my vic and sattelites collection:

So I would throw in my assumption that the Astatotilapie is consider part of Haplochromis? Sounds good to me.
Actually I think it is interchangeable with Astatoreochromis thus making them the Komaga group.
 
I have only ever had one Vic, not sure what it was?
but it was a nice fish, the only pic of it I have was when it was
just put in the tank, I housed it with a breeding group of Neolamprologus
brichardi, brichardi are said to be nasty liitle fish at breeding time and when
they have fry, not sure what the aggression on this Vic is said to be? but it had all 10 of the brichardis hiding in the rocks.

looks nice do you have any pics of the Albino Rub green?

I do not have a good pic of the Ruby Green, they went into my 125 gallo tank of assorted afrricans and I do not have access to a decent camera now :(

Eh eh eh hem.......
Going to have to say that is a Zebra obliquiden.....probably wasn't showing color. The broad black bars are a dead giveaway.
