firenzenz Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 Was going through some old shots and found shot of this guy. I only ever had one female so she had a tough time and eventually died. Anyone got them? Would love to get some again one day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryanjury Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 Haven't heard of anyone breeding them, but I do hope they are being bred so that we can keep them in the country.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firenzenz Posted December 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 :oops: well it looks similar. :oops: . imagine a big tank with them eyebiter's and other nimbo's. That boy was easy 20cm and would take a 6cm fish as food as I once found out. This was him when before I added a group of giraffes and after that he coloured up great. Nav-good to know. would be keen to give them ago eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
my4age Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 i think they were/are on the list. the importer mislabeled them as giraffe. after few weeks i realized they changed the name to fusco. they are awesome addition to any malawi predatory tank. mine wasn't looking too good when this photo was taken, but i've treated him with metro and now he looks stunning!

A-town... Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 I have only ever seen males. There were some on the lists but they came through looking like livingstonii if memory serves correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryanjury Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 Still got a male and 2 females. All seperated. Just havnt had the time time to do anything with them Awesome, you would have been my pick to still have some hopefully you get them going.. Maybe use a few livingstonii or venutus females as extra targets when you do put them together? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
