some of my hemichromis

[Filthy Sanchez]

I agree. Nice looking fish. I love the colors on jewels.

Co-sign every small cichlid tank I've had I've always had a pair of jewels. Beautiful fish nice colors.

Like I said before I would definitely take some off your hands, but you are in Philly. They look great though, keep up the good work.

you still keeping Hemichromis?

Wow, I don't know if I've ever seen them soo bright and beautiful. Nice fish man, keep up the great work.

Thanks, by line breeding you can get hemichromis who retain color all the time in soft warm water.

Dam! Good find. Keep up the good work.

Those are really nice, real nice colors. I just had a batch of babies a week ago. No pics though.

Chugger, where did you get those fish? I first imported pretty much the same strain from Germany back in 1970 & they have been in more or less constant circulation since that time. As to color, feeding some arctic copopods (Cyclopeeze) along with bbs will do a very good job. It's all about diet, water chemistry is not all that significant.

Check out the 'cristatus' pics in my album. All of the same strain - 3 generations showing the color variations from different diets. They are also capable of looking just like the ones in the Lamboj book ( I'm still perfecting that diet ).
