My brother used to own a beautiful colony and they produced many. We grew the fry out and they were lookers. Sadly, the main breeder male died and we were left with all the kids. My brother sold the remaining ones all to a breeder though. Luckily we saved a group and gave it to my brother in law. He kept them in a 20 and the male killed all of the females. :( So, now we are going to go and get the male back and get some females from a different line to breed. :)
Here are vids of the crimson tides my bro had.
1st one is our main breeder male that died. He was the best I have seen in person. I miss that guy, he was very blue and had amazing color.

2nd is the fry that we grew out, they were very nice. Wish we had kept them.

those are pretty sweet

That's my brother. :D They were beauts in person. We're going to get a male son to the one in the 1st video and get unrelated females to breed. I can't wait, its going to be like the old days. :woot:
 
Those are awesome!!!I too have been thinking about these and have seen some on Aquabid...My only question was can they go with the Flamebacks or would they crossbreed?
 
I don't think they would cross breed. Xystichromis and Pundamilia shouldn't cross. I breed a couple species of haps from malawi and victoria in a 90 gallon and they don't.
