Thanks, The C. Horei are wild caught from Stuart, and they were actually spawning when I took these pictures last week, so they were really looking cool. Luke

Thanks for looking, Luke.

There are only 3 species of Petrotilapia found at Nkhata bay; those being P. tridentiger, P. genalutea, and P. microglana. That being said, I would have to agree with RD (who did some excellent research by the way) as to the ID.

I like how you got the fish to sit directly over the "small," "medium," and "large" printed on those rocks.

It's a secret :shifty: -Luke

Hey there, I just thought I'd share a handful of the cichlids I'm currently working with. -Cheers, Luke

Domino damsels are always $8.99 or less. All fish will be 25%-75% off on Boxing Day as well. Come introduce yourselves to me. Later, Luke

I would say Ps. "elongatus chewere". The black in the dorsal fin usually extends to the tips in Ps. "elongatus mpanga." Not so in the case of the 'chewere' type.

Val, that looks like a sailfin pleco, Glyptoperichthys gibbiceps, and if so reaches a size of about 18" with often larger specimens reported.

And for the purists out there, the proper species name for 'L. meleagris' is L. stappersi

Just a quick note. We have brevis, multifasciatus, and meleagris. No meeli. Probably just a mix up. -Luke Also A. compressiceps "dwarf Sumbu"

Definitely N. livingstonii. The dark bars making an X pattern through the eye are a diagnostic feature of this species.

Thanks for the great pic of my Eureka peacock. Maybe you can share how you got him to "sit" still for you.

Some of the fish arrived in rough condition, such as the red shoulder peacocks, mbenji peacocks, and Otopharynx. They are being treated and look much better than when they first arrived. A case of too many large fish in a single bag. However, the compressiceps and the marginatus are fantastic along with many of the others. Feel free to ask me any questions. -luke

Where did you get them from?

Semaprochilodus taeniurus

They are both in the "elongatus" complex so you will probably have to watch for hybridization. If you must keep them together, then you should make sure that you have males and females of both species, but there is still no guarantee that hybridization will not occur.

The cichlids that PopEye purchased from BA's are Ps. "Elongatus Ornatus". The cichilds that Jason has could also be the same, but not fully mature. You can find pictures of both genders in in Ad Konings "Malawi Cichlids in their natural habitat" 3rd Edition. In the picture the female is not bright yellow like saulosi or johanni, but more of a drab colour as described above, with a black line running along the dorsal fin.

These fish are indeed Pseudotropheus sp. "elongatus ornatus" with the male being blue and the female being yellow. They sold out quite a while ago and the tank was subsequently filled with Metriaclima lombardoi. Hope this helps.
