My fishies!

Postby SergeS » Mon Apr 18, 2011 2:32 am

I just realized I never posted my cichlids (well, pictures of them anyway) here. So here goes:

Stigmatochromis pleurospilus (Mdoka). I love these fish, they do not grow as large as most predators do. They grow very slowly though, and it takes forever before you see some colour. But it's worth the wait :)

Female:

Protomelas sp "spilonotus mozambique". A fully grown male, obviously :) This is the largest fish in my tank (7,5" or so).

Image

Placidochromis phenochilus (Mdoka). Probably the 'bluest' Malawi I have ever seen. The large male is the boss in the tank, but without getting into fights all the time. If other fish are fighting, he actually intervenes and chases them apart. Mr schoolteacher :)

Otopharynx lithobathes (Zimbawe Rock), young male. The female refuses to pose for the picture :)
