Paratilapia Polleni

Hey all,

Just thought I'd share some pictures of my Polleni pair that i kept until jan this year. Keeping these guys has been an absolute joy, they're extremely responsive and full of personality. The pattern would change color during spawns turning allot bluer particularly on the female and gold between spawns.

Nice pics Ivan and one of my favourite species :thumb

Thanks Chris! I kept a few for my self after their last spawn to raise after i decided to sell this pair :happy:. They're 10-12cm and just under 6months old, really nice pair bonded and pattern looks even nicer than the parents!

Thanks guys,

They're beautiful fish, ill have to do a big tank clean this week, Ronny is talking about bringing his camera over so might see a few pics of their fry soon. Fry aren't really fry anymore, they're 12cm+ and paired.
