to get back to the from you want you will need a platinum female then breed out the colors this is a long process to get what you want you just have to keep breeding and selectively choose the best specimen and breed from that otherwise it wont revert back to the original genetics.it took me around 2 years to get a full black tuxedo moscow blue completely black/blue but it can be done in a shorter time span if u have multiple specimens.u can use plain females but its very difficult because they would have had to come from some genetic pool and will be near impossble to tell which color variant it is

depending on size of tank say 3 foot then maybe yellows and some smaller mbuna

haha yea its a hybrid bred to look just like this.i geuss the reason is the same as say a fh etc

yea mate father of yours.some are aulo x aulo and some aulo x mbuna this is a good shape i reckon very happy with how hes turned out.if anyones interested his son is on trademe being sold with a tank.he was sold with my last tank as i didnt have space for him.hes just as nice as this.make the guy an offer for him was a very good breeder before auction http://www.trademe.co.nz/pets-animals/fish/fish-tanks-aquariums/auction-484602241.htm

haha na sorry ryan hes not was a very old import that was sitting in a tank behind wood and was forgotten about

what a great owner to have you have done well by him mate its hard to lose a great friend like that but keep your chin up.i woke up one morning and found my purebred rotweiler on the lawn not moving a friend had given him a pot of noodles and he twisted his stomach.sadly we had to put him down but we knew he had a great life and was well remembered and never forgotten.same as bruce will be jack

any mouth brooders can interbredd though so you could get all osrts of mutss like these :slfg:

never seen a mix like that

Atleast there cichlids :thup: welcome

anywasy what a great thread mate will look forward to seing it all set up.ive only ever seen tanks this size with big fish in it so a planted community will look great.you could change your mind and go africans so much better :slfg:

+++++ :sml1: :rotf: :sage: henward

haha nice one :slfg: You not into that sort of romance jack? :sml1: :sml1:

after watching that video i definetly dont want one they are freaky as.but would be cool to see some in a display tank with fast schooling fish

so these arent unwanted organisms then?I wonder what full size would be and there social status as in if they need to be in groups?would be cool but creepy to have a few of them in a big tank

i think that its some sort of shallow rock dweller perch shape doesnt match i too see cod in there though.im no help either

so why doesnt anyone else keep them in tanks?

i agree with henward here i cant stand pics taken of africans under blue light to sell them it changes the whole ball game.natural light or white light is best for showing a true representation of their natural colors i use blue lights in my tanks but thats for show displays

holy crap $$$$$$$$$$ worth there mate :nfs:

i got better pic just got to upload it

is it ruby red?

if people didnt know your humour youd catch so many out. :slfg:
