camtang Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 :love: :nfs: :cophot: !drool: They are amazing pics! So in the last week or so I have had my mind blown on this thread.

nudge Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 Your black calvus is a stunner coral, how many altos do you have in the tank, are the black and the golden in the same tank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flatfish Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 I haven't kept Africans cichlids for years but those Altos are stunning lokking fish. Almost worth getting a tank for them. Almost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coral Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 Your black calvus is a stunner coral, how many altos do you have in the tank, are the black and the golden in the same tank? Thanks Nudge :slfg: , no they in different tanks. I have trio of the Golden Calvus and a pair of the Black Calvus. How is the PH now??

nudge Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 Its at 8 outta the tap, when I did my water change after a week it was at 7.8. in the tank. Some shots of my calvus they are starting to sort out the heirarchy in the tank. Not an alto but its about the only shot i have got of that not fuzzy. Dom juvie male.

herefishiefishie Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 Nice pics Already posted some pics of my calvus but here you go again.. They just laid another batch too, pretty stocked because I thought that I had nuked the female treated her for being egg bound. Also have fry at 3-4cm now looking quite cool.. Is it just me or does Zeusterae's fish look more like red fins than gold heads? And yeah my calvus go for conch shells. What is the go with the yellow in the female? odd Frenchy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herefishiefishie Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 ps; for those lookinf at breeding. Shells can be a health hazard to females. Try & source barnacle shells. Worked the best for me.

herefishiefishie Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 I haven't kept Africans cichlids for years but those Altos are stunning lokking fish. Almost worth getting a tank for them. Almost. After seeing some of these photos, I am thinking the same. I just set up a tank with Neolamprologus similis Seen some whites at a shop, could just throw a couple in. Then there won't be any similis fry. Frenchy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
