Guest Panga Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 Andy, Very nice pics. I like the dimi comp, he looks awesome. Cheers Troy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViS Posted April 1, 2004 Author Share Posted April 1, 2004 The mbuna is the Cynotilapia afra "Cobwe". I've still never taken a pic that does them justice. The dimi was probably 15 - 20cm in that pic. He was sold along with the rest of that colony a couple of years ago. I now have a german bloodline colony and a new mouthfull last night! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ViS Posted April 1, 2004 Author Share Posted April 1, 2004 That pic was actually taken with a 35mm SLR camera (eos 1000N), back in the "pre decent digital" days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

love-calvus Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 Nice pic andy, is that a feather fin you got. How and where to find one. loi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViS Posted April 1, 2004 Author Share Posted April 1, 2004 It's a Cyathopharynx foai "Sumbu Island". They are not quite as pretty as the Karilani Coppers, but they turn on the colour instantly which is amazing to watch. He will be a light green / silver one second, then he almost goes black with flourescent green highlights within a second or two. They are getting harder to find these days (much harder than the coppers), so I'm keen to keep a good looking bloodline going. I'd love it if Nigel could get me in some wild caught or F1 adults *hint* *hint* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mbuna Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 I've still never taken a pic that does them justice. alot of sites say this too. it is supposed to be very hard to get the yellow colouring correct also. nice fish though, hope mine turn out that good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
love-calvus Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 That very educational, if you said the Karilani Coppers are prettier then I may purchase these guy at St george equarium. Do you know how much these guy worth. Cheer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
