JORG Posted December 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 Cool, never heard of them before. They behave a lot like very active mbunas always on the move, They beg for food kinda like dolphins bobbing in and out of the water at the surface Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JORG Posted December 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2007 Anyhow these fish have been breeding for a couple months now but I thought the females were not holding their eggs --now that they are in a bigger tank and a little easier to observe, I spotted one holding a few days ago So decided to strip her today Was surprised to get only 4 eggs I'm not sure if it had anything to do with the 1/2 inch ruby red peacock that she was also holding ( I had thrown in a couple dozen a few days ago for the nkambaes to eat)--I guess I'll find out on the next spawn --The eggs are quite large similar to Tropheus eggs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
