Sarah Posted December 1, 2005 Author Share Posted December 1, 2005 hi David, i was hoping someone wouldnt ask ,at the time of writing the post i was too tired to look it up lol, its a Haplochromis miloma vc10, they can reach 29cm i just wanted to know if anyone has them and what size they start breeding, oh well i guess no one has them on the ACE forum .

YeW Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 Found it... Placidochromis milomo (described by Michael Oliver!) I'd imagine like most happish types they need to be reasonable size. 8-10cm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarah Posted December 1, 2005 Author Share Posted December 1, 2005 thanks Poi mine are in with dimis and rostratus and a few others but we figured the male has gone all shy and we thought we might have better luck if we separated them as i heard they then too loose their blue when there are other dominant males around, i have seen him try on occasion, cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
