cooder Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Hey guys, just a quick thread,I saw a picture of an Aulonocara that looked similar to stuartgranti ngara, but with more blue on the upper body and down the back but also a bright highlight of yellow on the belly area, that didnt extend down the flank very far. thats the main feature i remember, it probably also had yellow pelvic and dorsal.It was a really stunning fish and ive forgot the name, i'd like to look into perhaps getting some, but i gotta know the name!Anyone know of what im talking about?It couldve even been a stuartgranti Ngara... beautiful fish though!

cooder Posted April 29, 2014 Author Share Posted April 29, 2014 Its not the one LithoMan, but i found what i was after while searching yours. Its not actually an Aulonocara,its Protomelas sp. splinotus tanzania, And the yellow does actually go all the way down the body.Anyone have experience with these? the research begins...

rosco Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Yep I have, they are great fish but can hard on the girls and really hard on sub dominant boys. They are a big fish and really need a 4x18x18 at the minimum for a colony. I had mine in a 3x18x18 for a while but it was a mistake as the girls coped some heat everytime he wanted to breed mouthful or not. They also take a long time to get fully coloured but will breed at around 7-8 cm mark. I only have two 12+ cm males left in a 4x2x2 display tank and they are the pick of the tank. They don't care about each other now the girls are gone. CheersRosco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
