MikeWs Fish Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 Yea they are easily available. Just put up a WTB in the classifieds section and you will have some luck. Beautiful fish Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YeW Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 Msobo (whether you call them Maylandia or Metriaclima or Pseudotropheus) are lovely! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaZ Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 I keep them and love them! They don't seem to get as agro as some other types I have struggled with, and the colours are gorgeous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Miller Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 I agree that they are stunning fish and relatively peaceful - but they are not the easiest fish to breed, nor do they have big broods, so they are unlikely to ever be available in big numbers. BaZ, I'd be interested on some info on yours; how many? sex ratio? tank size? tank mates? breeding? numbers? what are their favourite colours (sorry a bit of Monty Python's Holy Grail slipping in there ) Thanks, Lee.

I bought a bunch of fry a while back and have been growing them out to the point where they are nearly full size now. I have 3-4 males in with 8-9 females and have only had 2 mouthfulls so far. I also picked up some adults at the last meeting, 4m 4f which are actually the parents of my current stock. I'll probably end up integrating the 2 lots of fish, and wouldn't mind sourcing some unrelated males to strengthen the bloodline. Yours might be a different line to mine, talk to me via pm if you are interested, we might be able to swap some males Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
