Great tank! lots of hours put into that tank. Well done looks awesome. Those yellow or white bands?

Guessing you put him in the larger tank?

Sweet specimen mate. Real good colours

Great photos and Aulonocara's mate

Great tank. Love the Mel.Auratus

Have you sexed them yet? would the brighter ones be male?

Alto fry are under 1cm. Anything over that is basically months and months of hard work :slfg: U can pm me if you want fry

The lot I saw had good body shape and colour as tropheus go. Havent looked into how they where created. They just didnt interest me for the money they where asking and knowing their history. Guess you could goole it

What do you mean dodgy strain other than they are hybrids? I heard there where two imports. One from germany and the other from asia. I saw the two strains side by side in tanks and I couldnt tell the differance :dunno: , other then the price. :nilly:

I notice my Tropheus can handle more but the Alto's seem a little more sinsitive. I guess each in their own :cr8:

I secound Smidy. Dont mess about trying to recreate wild conditions. Just ends up stressing you out and more importantly the fish. I have never checked my water conditions. Even now I dont know what the exact PH is. But I do know that with my gravel and limestone rocks that the PH is well over 7. My Tangs, Tropheus & Alto's, wont stop breeding so all must be good. Just dont do more then 20% water changes for the Tangs. Malawis will handle more.

Been in the hobby for years and have never known of any other lake victoria cichlids other than brown haps in the country.

Probably Tangs but I have no problem with my Malawi. If you are near west akld come have a look at my setup. Might give you a better idea. Just PM me
