That's good to hear. Good luck with them. I'm just glad that more and more people are getting into Victorian cichlids on MFK. ;)
 
Got them today! 14 of hte 17 ordered survived. Turned down the Kyoga Flamebacks for now as they would eat my Lipos. Looking for some juvies if anyone has some around 1-1.25" looking for around 20 of them to make my group.

Nice! Post up pics. Where are the kyoga flamebacks from?
 
There in IA. 52403 I think. I still may take them just need to downsize some fish to free up a tank for them for a bit. PM me and if I don't take them I can pass on the contact info.

Awesome, you have a pm. :)
 
Here are some pics. These guys are tiny yet so only time will tell. Also would liek to pick up like 5-10 more of these. Tank mates are undecided yet but really thinking of going with a group of 10-15 Xyistichromis 'Kyoga Flameback' or a similar sized group of Pundamillia Nyereri 'Makobe Island'.

What are the odds of the Mutumbi Hunter and the Pundmilla Nyereri hybridizing? Same with teh Hunters and the Kyoga Flamebacks? On a local forum there is a guy saying the wil hybridize. I figure since they share nothing the same chances are pretty slim. Not the same body shape, colorings, breeding dress, diet, etc...
