malawi sand diver Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 The fish look really nice. How big do you expect the male will grow? I know they are considered one of the larger melanochromis species. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ged Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 The fish look really nice. How big do you expect the male will grow? I know they are considered one of the larger melanochromis species. When they formally describe the species the specimens they collected showed the following.Holotype Specimen 121.5 mmMean: 82.8mmRange: 53.5 - 121.5 mmI suspect the males in the tank will probably grow slightly larger than this range.

malawi sand diver Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Thanks for the info, interesting... yes can probably add a couple of cms for the well fed tank raised fish.I remember Michael (Firthy13) that you got one from a major auction a year or two ago that was a big fish.

RonnyM Posted January 2, 2014 Author Share Posted January 2, 2014 Thanks guys!I've been told to expect these guys to reach up to 20cm being captive bred ones and very well fed. They are absolute pics lol.Do you want some more of them?Dazz, I wouldn't mind some more females if you have any bigger ones. I have quite few males at the moment.

dazzman Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I have 1m/4f and would prefer to sell them all together just because its easier. My male and two of my females came from Andrew also, the other two females came from a lfs up here. Check out my fs add.http://www.aceforums.com.au/index.php?showtopic=57375&hl=kaskazini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
