kilroy Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Yeah I'm sure they will. The others are very red at a small size though, when I first saw it I thought he must have photoshopped the pics. The ones I am keeping are more yellow than red at this stage. Dave how big are your reds? I think you have had yours for a bit longer than me! Would be good if Jim could post some pics of his WC's, there just aren't many photos of them out there.

parrdog Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Great pics guys . I saw those pics as well of the Ndoles, they are extremely red aren't they. I'm sure you recognise that tank Dave. I wonder what happened to his Ikolas and Bembas since the tank looks like the one they were in. A quick tank update from me. My big 5 footer is drained and the Moops are in my smaller 5 footer in the garage. I went down to Universal Rocks today and checked out their gear. Now I have to check in with Wayne and organise the background and sump through him. I can't wait till the ball gets rolling. Jamie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoliroMan Posted September 26, 2006 Author Share Posted September 26, 2006 Waruna....why don't u do another set of photos taken independently by your wife and yourself and we can be the judge on who has the better skills?? When are u coming down to Sydney....i would luv u to come over to take some pics of my Ts? And i am sure u will be welcomed by many of the Sydney T nuts as well!! How about a tropheus tank crawl? Shane...i have seen Jim's Ndoles in person and they look amazing, much redder and brighter than my moliros in full adult coloration. I am sure with NLS and good water conditions they will grow up to be amazing specimens...u just need to be patient mate! My ndoles are just reaching 6cm but not all of them are colouring up as nicely as those u posted. I don't know if it has anything to do with them being housed with some lufubu? I know like all moorii, there coloration is extremely variable and dependent on mood and dominance. As for Jim taking photos...the last i checked he was using a video camera to take photos so i don't think he will do it. I will try to repost some pics i took of his adults but they weren't very good quality. Jamie...how are they coping in the smaller accommodations? What background have u chosen? U must photograph the tank as it develops and please share with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parrdog Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 The Moops are going fine is their new temporary home. I will post pics but there won't really be developments. It will basically go to the shop and then return complete, so the pics will be basically before and after shots. Jamie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will try to repost some pics i took of his adults but they weren't very good quality. No worries, I am sure they will colour up soon. I don't know if they were all out of the same mouthful, but some of the reds we got are huge compared to the others. The two biggest are touching 5cm almost and the smallest are between 2.5 and 3cm. One has a really small head (appropriately nicknamed 'Pinhead') and there are two big dominant ones that seem to get along with each other, and give everything else a hard time. One has no real colour but goes darkish, the other is a yellowy purple/red when he's fired up. Will post some more pics when I get a decent shot!

kilroy Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 OK, Please excuse the quality of the pics. The only way I could get a shot of them was to throw in an algae disc and watch the frenzy! In the process they stirred up some crap from the bottom. The pics are to show the colour variation of our Ndole Reds. Looking at some of the photo's they are redder than they look in the flesh. Oh and the Duboisi's don't seem to be that red at all Cheers Shane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaneo Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Nice looking fish kilroy how bigs the set up? Are they from jim I just got 10 more duboisi off jim also some off addicted2cichlids.

MoliroMan Posted September 27, 2006 Author Share Posted September 27, 2006 Hey Shane (kilroy), i find a good way to take photos is during a major water change....i took some of my ilangi when they were crowded at the bottom of the tank when the water level was at 20% and also to take photos when the water is going in ....they will inevitably shake and display for each other! keep them coming! Hi Shane(Shaneo), would luv to see the pics of all the duboisi in your tank....must look awesome now! how many have u got now and what size range are they? when u said u got some from Addicted2Cichlids do u mean the sponsor? Where does he get his duboisi from? Does he have any other tropheus? sorry for all the questions. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I've seen his pics on cichlid-forum.com. He has quite a few varieties- Chimba's, Moops, Ilangi, Red Rainbows and more from what I remember. Must have a great setup, tanks look great.

shaneo Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Hi all i to have seen some of johns pics of his fish very nice. Heres a few more pics of my duboisi i took today since ive put the extra 15 juvies in they are totaly diffrent fish. I havent seen my adults this active since i lost a couple from bloat now i cant stop watching them. Ive pulled a lounge in front of the tank and just sit there. Hope you enjoy. p.s. excuse my dirty glass ive got stubbin algea on the back panel i cant reach Cheers shane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phear Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 well dave, i hold u personally responsible for my newly forming addiction nah its only been a matter of time comming... ide say when i re arrange my fish room and put the 5ft in there ill be ordering up big with the tropheus cant wait till someone tells me that they have some for sale and will send them to adelaide! prob be in a month that ill be wanting them!

MoliroMan Posted October 2, 2006 Author Share Posted October 2, 2006 Shane...luv those D pics!! That is one of the things a like about tropheus....they are always active but when u add more to the tank, they suddenly go crazy checking the newcomers out and then re-establishing their positions in the group....it is like a bunch of kids checking out the new students at school... Phear....don't get me wrong....the more people who come to keep and luv tropheus the happier i will be...i just want more people to learn how to look after them properly and really enjoy them instead of killing them and then deciding they weren't for me... i have noticed there is a lot of demand for tropheus interstate....i think someone should operate on a commission basis to ship tropheus interstate....i know a lot of people have enough tropheus to meet the demand but are just unwilling to ship them because it is a big hassle if u don't know what u r doing....also some people who have accounts with one of the major airlines such as Virgin Blue and AAE will have lower rates for shipping and would be more worthwhile for u tropheus nuts that live interstate...
