Going Rate

Looking to get rid of my remaining Malawi "Haps" but not sure what they go for... I would say $30 in a LFS maybe more

8in N Livingstonii, 7.5in N Polystigma, 7.5In N Venustus <<<COLORED UP MALES

5-6in D. Compressiceps (Never colored up but was dominate over 3 other comps to the point i had to remove them, I'm assuming male who wont color up due to being intimidated by robust Nimbos)

Too bad my Livingstonii killed my Fusco last week... those are hard to come by around here.

Dang... 4 Nimbochromis males in the same tank. Can't believe they didn't slaughter each other, especially the polystigma and livingstoni.

Around here, fish like that would go for $20-$25 each through the club or twice that at the LFS.

They are calm for the most part with eachother.

Actually, Livingstonii and Polystigma NEVER show agression toward each other.

All aggression (small amount) is Polystigma>Venustus and Livingstonii>Venustus
My oponion is the Venustus doesnt know his place and tests them both. Polystigma is fine with Livingstonii being boss and knows he is second. Venustus doesnt want to be last and tests the livingstonii and loses and when polystigma sees him flare he goes after him as well.

They take no notice of the compressisceps, he takes no notice of them

Synodontis stays out of their way and sometimes butts them or ruffs they up over food he gets bit every few weeks and they get punctured every so often but for the most part know there place.

Livingstonii killed the Fusco by chance, chased him due to the Fusco being added last. Fusco jumped out of water into top glass with light covering and had a seizure and died from a brain injury.

BEFORE I PICKED OUT FEMALES AND REMOVED MY TANK WAS A WAR ZONE. ALL MALES HAS MADE TANK PEACEFUL. well "cichlid peaceful".
