Right now i have my N.Venustus holding so i am very excited about that and next i would like to see my Borleyi redfins breed..the reason i like both of these is because they have alot of color and they get big..
These are the Borleyi redfins ..the male is the colorful guy and the females are silver with red fins.. these are still young babies and already getting color..they grow to about 6 inches so i am looking forward to breeding them. The venustus pics i will get up for you tommorrow.jus1time;1118535; said:
great pics! I have some zebras that have mated. there just mutts, but some of the babies are great looking.
If I had a extra tank to set up for a mating group, I would use some M. Joahanni's. They are beautiful, in demand, easy to sex, and easy to make sure you actually have what you think you have.
Yellow labs, so easy to breed, easy to sex, and if u wantedto sell babies theres money there too. Get some high quality ones and let the breeding begin.

Not necessarily. Unless you got them from a very reputable breeder who bothered enough to keep his lines clean or bought them somewhere, reliably ID'd as wildcaught or F1, you're buying hybrids.
I don't know. When it comes to mbuna there are just way too many flavors. Right now I absolutely love the Zebra Chilumbas. Before them I was all hot about P. sp. Flameback and before them it was all about Cyno. sp. Lion "Mara Point". But then again it's hard to get over the old favorites like a really good line of brilliant red zebras or big gorgeous M. greshakei.
Right now if I could only pick just one type of mbuna to breed (you said type, not species
) it would be Petrotilapia. The bigger the better. 
If I had to go with just one species...I'd probably go back to Labeo. fuelleborni. They're like big beautiful honking nosed puppy-dogs. lol
great choice of Mbuna..and i agree about the fuelleborni especially.. great describtion ..lolstraitjacketstar;1120868; said:Not necessarily.
