Zebra Obliquidens

They look healthy and happy! How many did you end up with?

It’s hard to get an exact count, but I’ve seen at least 12 in a picture I took. I’d guess there are more, but can’t say for sure. So I came out with half or less then half from the original 30.

Close to half is pretty good in my book. You can really see the red showing in the males. Nice pics of the little guys and gals.

Thanks!
Yes, a few males have some nice red going on. I’m enjoying them right now, such perfect finage. Their parents... not so much. Aggression seems to have hit an all time high right now in that tank. Worse part is they don’t fight when I’m in the room so I have no idea whose to blame.

I rehomed 6 babies and still have 8 left. I moved them into the main tank with their parents.
These guys have a lot of red.

They are beautiful. Are they a Lake Tanganyika specie?

From what I’ve read they are from Lake Kyoga and Lake Newampasa in Uganda. And other sources say Lake Victoria.
