Kevycorp Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 Hi, I have my first questions. Are the female saulosi orange or yellow? I'm kind of hopping they are orange. You can keep more than one male right? I'm thinking of going with saulosi, yellow labs & acei in the 90 gallon we are going to have, what do you think? Has anyone made a rock/cave background for your tank? There is one at cichlid forum that I really like but crafty I am not. I asked my Sister to make it for me but I can't figure out what you do with the filter intakes and heater. The picture of the background doesn't show them at all. Have a nice sunny day!

vantgE Posted July 19, 2004 Report Share Posted July 19, 2004 I think it will work b ut the souliosi are yellow only orange i can think of is a lombardoi and probally not a good match with your fish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rahim101 Posted July 19, 2004 Report Share Posted July 19, 2004 (edited) Salosi are a orangish yello color, I have seen wild caught females that are alomost a redish orange color. You may also want to consider getting Pseudotropheus sp. "msobo deep" Magunga http://www.malawimayhem.com/profile_show.php?id=554 They had some over at Gold Aquariums a while back... Good Luck Edited July 19, 2004 by rahim101 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albert_dao Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 Nope, none there right now. We do have saulosi though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smokey Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 albert - which group/ species: Haplochromis - aulonocara saulosi http://www.malawimayhem.com/profile_show.php?id=20 or Mbuna - pseudotropheus saulosi http://www.malawimayhem.com/profile_show.php?id=276 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albert_dao Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 Ps. saulosi. The peacock isn't really a viable fish for the market. There's just too many other peacocks that eclipse it. We did have them at the store six months ago and they kinda just got forgotten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokey Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 i know what you mean ..... fancy, colour, eye-grabbers, sell fast. [ex: aka- painted glass un-fish.] However, the more challenging species are certainly worth the time and effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevycorp Posted July 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 Hi, Thanks for the pics. of the Ps. Msobo Deep. Now I have another question, can you keep Ps. Salosi, Ps Msobo Deep and L. Mbamba together or will the males fight? If you can't have all three, can you keep Salosi and Mbamba? I know it sounds silly but, I would like to try and get fish that will get along. I know there are no guarantees but ... I was kind of hoping I could keep L mbamba, L.caeruleus, Ps. salosi and maybe Ps. sp acei and or Ps sp msobo (now that I've seen them). How many would you keep total in a 90 gallon? Thanks in advance for your help. It' s so much easier when there's someone you can ask for advice.
