herefishiefishie Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 I bought myself 5 of these guys yesterday. I think they are a beautiful cichlid, nice to have a mbuna with a purple shade, get away from the blues. They are in with my smaller aceis & yellows{4-6cm} in a 4 footer. So {touch wood} should go great guns. They have not long been in the country, so I had to pay $35 each for them. The lfs are getting more in later next week, so will have to get myself a few more. Try & get a nice sized colony up & running. I had seen them on a couple of forums, one inter state for a bit dearer. Dosen't worry me if the market drops out, these are keepers.

herefishiefishie Posted May 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 That could be difficult, I read that they are secretive spawnersLike a nice big cave to spawn in. :roll: That be right. I took the aceiis out today, similar shading...so just them & the yellows in the 4 footer, looks nice. Frenchy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
