nevchewy Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 Thought I should start a thread like this as it just might help people that are looking for information on certain African's. Right now i have successfully bred Rusty's, Saulosi, White top afra's and Red Zebra's (tangerine). This is not a post with me trying to sell these fish as they are still to young to sell as they are still juvies or just born. If anyone has any questions about these types of fish i would be glad to share my experiences with these fish. What other types of african's are you all breeding and where in the province are you located. I'm in NE Edmonton. nev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jvision Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 I would love to see my fish start to breed, but I'm kind of a newb w. Africans. I have the following in groups of 3+ but don't know how to tell the sexes apart: Melanochromis cyanorohabdus (6) Pseudotropheus elongatus "Chewere" (4) Labidochromis sp. "acei" (3) Labidochromis caeruleus "Electric Yellow" (7) The M. cyano. and Electric Yellows are in a 29 gal together with lots of hiding places and plants (see pics in photo forum). The others are in a 35 gal (36" x 18" footprint) with about 10 other fish. The tank is packed with shells and plants - lots of hiding places for everyone. Nobody's really getting picked on in the tank at all. Is there something to induce spawning? I've worked a lot with dwarf SA cichlids - feed well and large WC will get them going. What about Mbuna? They all eat NLS only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vallisneria Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 Labidochromis sp. "acei" Do you mean Pseudotropheus "acei"? Is it a blue fish with yellow fins? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap'n Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 My cyps and leleupi are breeding. Some fry of each in grow-out. No luck with the compressiceps yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvision Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 Do you mean Pseudotropheus "acei"? Is it a blue fish with yellow fins? Actually, I meant Labidochromis sp. "perlmutt" Got them at the same time... I know the diff, guess I just got a bit confused when I was typing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
