The Menarambo Have Spawned!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Congrats on the spawn. I have been wanting to keep this species for the past few years but have had a hard time freeing up tank space for such a large specie. Let us know how the eggs do as i Know these guys love to eat them.
Thanks, @dparks87.Yes, all the Dambas are very likely to eat their eggs (or get distracted and let other fish get to them). It's one of the reasons I hatch them artificially. The spawn pictured is doing very well. The young (~150) are about 1" TL and are eating and growing well (still pretty slow compared to other cichlids). They are extremely active and just seem to "fly" around the tank, especially when they sense it's feeding time. Check this video of the hyper fry.
