  1. yes they will interbreed as they are both pseudotropheus, and probably produce fertile offspring as well edit"- if animals etc are of the same genus they can generally interbreed and be fertile an excepion is a horse and donkey pairing
  2. Yes quite dark for a kenyi and 2 many stripes for a five stripe lamprologus did the picture come with any more info aqua? pseudotropheus demasoni whiticus
  3. Jardini. pound for pound the best around no contest with any fish previously mentioned whats your fave reevesta?
  4. i have 3 in a 2 1/2 footer, 1 male 2 female? waiting for them to make their minds up :roll:
  5. it would solve the "which side do you dress on sir" question at the tailors
  6. thanks stella i was hoping you would stop by it has been awhile since i have had natives in a glass tank so the ID tips are very useful thanks another one for anyone to identify
  7. a birds breastbone should be like a tegel chicken, lots of meat either side if it is like a yatch keel do not purchase sress is the biggest killer of birds, they use up their vitamin b's and go into paralysis remember birds have a high metabolism and can go from being well to dead in as little as 4 hours barbary doves are pretty tough usually sorry you had to go through this, but a lesson may have been learnt for the future like fish you should try a quarantine period

  19. that may work as i have noticed with mine it is a visual thing, once the other guy is out of his space the agression stops the sub fish has a flat rock angled against the side of the tank he slips into and effectively disappears
