African_Fever Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 I love those C. horei! Quite a unique fish. Where did you pick them up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lukeS Posted March 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
African_Fever Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 Wouldn't have come from Stuart Grant, he's on Lake Malawi and only exports Malawians. Great looking fish though, you'll have to keep us updated with the spawning! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeS Posted March 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 Sorry, I meant to say Laif. Don't know why I wrote Stuart. :well: -Luke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syno321 Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 I've bred the C. horei before and found that the males are probably the most aggressive cichlid I've ever kept in terms of putting pressure on the females to spawn. How are you finding yours? What methods are you using to minimize the male's agression? They are a cool cichlid, almost looking like fish created by committee.

lukeS Posted March 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 Yes, the male is quite aggressive towards the females. I don't really do anything special for them, except that they are in a 150 gallon tank with a number of other cichlids(Champsochromis caeruleus and Albino Taiwan Reef cichlids). I find that the females uninterested in breeding take quite a thrashing even in that tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
