firestorm Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 This is my dominant male F1 cynotilapia afra "chimate". Just waiting for him to breed This is half the reason I think cyno are the best looking mbuna species Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
African_Fever Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 Great looking Cyno, just wondering where you got the 'chimate' name from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firestorm Posted November 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 (edited) I got these fish from spencer jacks. And I looked them up, I don't think cichlid-forum has them on their list of profiles yet as this is the site I normally go to for fish ID's. But here is some links on them http://www.malawi-dream.info/Cynotilapia_afra_Chimate.htm http://www.cichlidrecipe.com/crp12.htm http://www.cichlidfanatics.com/Forum/showthread.php?p=683 Edited November 12, 2008 by firestorm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
African_Fever Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 It appears to be a relatively new variant coming out Tanzania, which is why it didn't ring a bell for me at all. Great little Cyno! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firestorm Posted November 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 Yeah I hadn't heard of them before ordering from spencer either. I love the color in cyno's. I also have some white top hara's that don't color up yet (little smaller), and I have on order from spencer right now some afra cobue. Would love to get my hands on the jalo reef species, but are quite impossible to find up here. I am glad you like him, and of course like most pictures, this one doesn't do him justice at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
