Tropheus

Interesting site on the Web http://www.underwatertimes.com/fish/fish.php

Hi Krib. Any chance of seeing a photo of the Masoni's.

Hi Krib. Try this site for info http://www.cichlid-forum.com/profiles/s ... php?id=632 Are these the fish you got?

Same as any other peacocks. Just check out Cichlids.com Did you get them from a indian in Manukau city akld. If so the pictures he had on trade me arent the actual fish not to honest

The price for these four are way to high. They where owned by a friend of mine who got rid of them as the bands werent that great. They arent aggressive as people think. If you want aggresive try Tropheus Cherry Spots. Minchton, what species are yours if you dont mind me ashing???

Blue Peacock???? Dont you mean Copadichromis Borleyi

Hi! just back from the fish show it was really great; awesome effort by everyone who organised it. great location as it was located next to the sea horse farm and paua farm(for those of us who were lucky to get a guided tour!!) it goes to show that it can be done and hopefully next year even bigger and better especially if more people(clubs and retailers) get involved in it. The fish were good but not much of a variety ie no discus, majority of cichlids and only 4 cats. All in all really awesome turn out by the public and the organisers did really well. Napier has heaps to offer, great town especially the national aquarium(kicks kelly tarltons!!) and of course the night life!!!(still suffering from hangover!)

The best thing if you only have a pair is to house them in a large tank with a clear divider to stop the males harrassing the female, as you only have one females. Feed them well with brine shrimp etc 2/3 times aday getting heaps of protein into them. once you see the female ova bulging its time to remove the divider and let them do their stuff. makes sure theres lots of hiding places. When she finally holds just note the date and remove her after 20 days. Peacocks are slow to develope. Dont be surprised if she spits the eggs a couple of times. It takes them a few times to get it right. Get another tank ready if she is still holding after 20, fill with same water and place her into the holding tank. If she a good mother she will not spit them. DO NOT force them out and after awhile they get used to it and will spit when ever stressed. Any way thats just how i do it and it has worked well for me. Good luck. Have you seen the parents. Hope they arent cross breeds.

Putting Tetras in my tank doesnt seem to work for me. Tried neons, rummy, you name it. Just not happening. Does anyone have any ideas what I can put in my tank with my 20 Haplochromis Venustus. Those tetras just keeping disappearing I know, sick

THANKS LoGaN. U must have given me fish goog luck. Went to check on the fish this morning and guess what? My Fryeri is holding MalawiMad. Got any photos of your Peacock (REDS)???

Nice fish. Sciaenochromis Fryeri. No coulour enhancers required for these guys. just good water conditions and food. Brine shrimps or mysis twice a week. Have two pairs as well and never fight.

Awesome fish. Might have to give up Cichilds if I can get my hands on some. Not. Very nice
