Hard to believe the biggest fish is only 5cm shock.gif (ok maybe 5.5cm laugh.gif )

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 laugh.gif ). 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 bigsmile.gif

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 laugh.gif ).
