ViS Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 I've kept both Chitande and Chilumba.Both beautiful fish and reasonably peaceful. About the same temperament as cobalt blues / maingano etc. Lots of chasing away, but no biting / injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 I have tropheops chitande Bright yellow there is approx 12 fish all from the last spawn of my adults that were sold 18 months ago. I have breed them for 5-6 years you are welcome to take them as long as they don't disappear from the hobby .I have a suspicion that troheops chitimba Bay may have gone I haven't seeen any sold for 3 years the last couple to breed them have left the nswcs so I dont know if they are still around .Thanks Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
