mattrox Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Your male is a cracker. Mine is starting to breed too and your picture is the first one I have seen of a great male in a very long time. I am supprised they are not a more popular fish. Maybe it is the time it takes to colour up... or a whole bunch of poorly bred fish on the market?Thanks for posting it is great to compare notes.

Mbuna Posted November 4, 2011 Author Share Posted November 4, 2011 cheers guys, these are 3rd generation of stock that i originally got from sydney. Your right, alot of average stock getting around... Like alot of mbuna, i think the lack of colour in the females hold popularity back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
