Metalion Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 Hi, My wife saw a picture of this fish (thanks slinky) and she would like to know if we can get this fish in Sydney. It is very rare chance she is interested in fish, so I would like to get any info about this beauty. I think I saw it before... but I can't remember. Help me please! Cheeers, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAZ Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 Hi Mike Xystochromis phytophagus - used to be called Astatotilapia brownae. Beautiful fish from Lake Victoria/Riverine areas. Yes they are available in Sydney. I have them breeding quite successfully. WAZ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ducksta Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 Mine went to poi55n in wollongong, unfortunately I never got a spawn from them. Not sure how they are doing down there. I just have 1 male left in a display tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YeW Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 I saw Waz's today. Great fish - I'd certainly recommend that line of brownae. Slinky - You might want to check out the forum TOU, particularly this point (11). 11. Please take your time to write your post correctly. "Posts wot hav b33n rite'n like dis 1" - will be deleted.
