ViS Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 Hard to believe the biggest fish is only 5cm (ok maybe 5.5cm ) Thanks Mike. They are going great guns! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ducksta Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 I see a mouthful! Nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViS Posted May 25, 2005 Author Share Posted May 25, 2005 I counted 3 mouthfuls (and 2 possible mouthfuls that might only have one or two eggs). They were really skittish when I first got them as fry a couple of months ago, but they are starting to come out more now (would compare them to yellow labs in bravery ). They have already spawned a few times, but they can only fit 4 or 5 eggs in their tiny mouths, so I've only been getting between 2 and 5 fry per girl so far. The girl in the pic with a gobful looks to have the biggest lot yet. She's been holding over 2 weeks now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 Andy Has the flash washed out the pearl colours or do they have white highlights . Nice labs all the same Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViS Posted May 26, 2005 Author Share Posted May 26, 2005 Neil, They don't have white highlights. They have basically a light brown body with mother of pearl coloured shine all over them with yellow fins. They are fast becoming my favourite fish (although they have a hard task to overtake my msobo as being the most attractive mbuna around ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
