Mbuna Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 great looking male you have mark! how big is he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malawi sand diver Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 What an awseome fish. Nice specimen, really flouro around the face. I'm keeping 9 of them at the moment aswell.The reason why they are one of my favorites is that both males and females have the bright blue colours and they are no where near as aggressive as an electric blue. Their shape reminds me of a salt water fish.When they get bigger, their lips start to curl out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Igotfish Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 The problem with white lips is thay throw very heavy male spawns .I got 30 baby's 2 years ago and ended up with 8 female and 22 males ,,,it sucks but you work with what you got I suppose ,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Link2Hell Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 IgotfishI suggest you try lowering the pH to 7.4 and see what sex ratio that gives youthis worked with the Ps saulosi to get a better female ratio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
