Placidochromis spec. White Lips Mdoka

[Aquatilium]

We brought these in a couple of shipments back. By far our favorite Placidochromis variant. They definitely took the show away from the Placidochromis Phenochilus "Tanzania" which until these guys was our favorite Placido. They are awesome in a community environment or species tank. We have added them to our breeding program to have fry to offer in the coming months. However, this size is readily available.

Yup, thats what caught my eye on the list. So these are same family as the sapphires?

 

[Aquatilium]

Yes these are Placidochromis as well. They do not have the spangled coloration throughout the body as the Phenochilus do. These take to their adult coloration alot earlier than the Phenos do as well. The video quality is not the best I will post some pics tomorrow that give you a better look at them. Awesome fish!!!

You said that you have breeding size as well as small ones? WC?

Will these hybridize with Copadichromis or Protomelas? Would like a tank with these and some of the others, but don't want hybridization if possible.

We do not have small ones available. Although there is always a risk of Hybridization when mixing any Hap in a tank , I would feel comfortable in saying the risk is minimal with these because the female Placidochromis are distinct where a Copadichromis is silver , and the Protomelas is silver as well.
