Donny Brasco Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Yeah i have a colony growing out to breed at the moment i have about 8 of them.Devon from barnseys cichlid heaven has a colony growing out as well.Previously there wasnt alot around in vic but a few kicking about in qld.They are a high quality fish, but i think not so popular because of there slow growth rate and the fact they have to be a good couple of years old before they really start to put on a show with there speckles.Alot of people arnt patient enough to stick it out and want to put them already colored, which is hard to find as not many people want to get rid of there colony.Im hoping to start getting fry from mine in about 6 months.

Donny Brasco Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Went to evalife yesterday to check out there current stock they have I think 3 or 4 tanzania left how ever one looks deformed it sort of has a stretched long body which looks quite weird to be honest.They do have a descent range down there at the moment and there pricing is really good for an aquarium, the star sapphires where only about $15 each. I have paid up to $35 each for little 3 to 4cm guys before.They have some really nice protomelas spino tanzania at the moment as well I pick up a nice 8cm boy for 18 bucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
