my list of africans that i'm now keeping, just picked up some new stock yesterday, including a breeding colony of cobwe and baliodigma, most of my colonies are still,young as i only started getting back into africans earlier this year after spending the last 3 years only keeping and breeding bristle nose and guppies, :)

Cynotilapia sp. 'hara' = nice young colony of 11 including 1 breeding pair
Cynotilapia zebroides 'Cobwe' = breeding colony of 8 + 4 other adults + 12 fry
Pseudotropheus flavus = 8 sub adults and 5 fry,
Pseudotropheus socolofi "Albino Pindani" = 15 sub adults
Pseudotropheus sp. 'elongatus mphanga' = 22 strong breeding colony used for hosting my cuckoo's, have fry growing
Labidochromis caeruleus "Electric Yellow" = 5 large adults + 15 sub adults + 10 fry
Metriaclima estherae "Red Zebra" = 18 sub adults/adults
Metriaclima callainos "Cobalt Blue" = 5 young adults, 2m/3fm
Astatotilapia latifasciata "Crimson Tide" = sold my adults but still got 50+ fry growing

Pseudotropheus interruptus = 10 sub adults, (got them as johanni but after reading up they aren't)

Melanochromis baliodigma = 2m/8fm, just bought half a breeding colony and stripped 44 fry last night,

Pseudotropheus sp. 'kingsizei' = have 1 lonely male, (might look for some fm's soon)

Synodontis multipunctatus "Cuckoo Catfish" = breeding colony of 2m/3fm + 10 fry growing to add to my colony,

Good on you for getting them Mr sparky! Looks like they're paying for themselves already.

Cynotilapia sp. 'hara'

Is this what they look like? If so, great fish!

thanks yellow,

the baliodigma aren't the nicest guy on the block, but somebody has to keep them, or as with some others, in 10 years we won't have them, and if needed i'll only breed enough to keep them going,

ohh yes, thats what my dom male hara looks like, and his second in command isn't that far off, they sit on the other end of the looks scale, and i have a couple stunning cobwe males to,

now i just have to get my tanks set up with candles and some music playing so they will start making some fry, :)
