Thanks, yes, i breed this fish in large scale.malawijanne

[CGILucidDreams]

Outstanding fish.
What do you use for feeding in order to get this amount of red for Hongies?

[malawijanne]

I feed vith only a shrimp and pee mix, with one spoon of astaxhantin to 1 kilo mix.
I have 6 kilo schrimps and 3 kilo pee and one spoon of astaxhantin, just that, no other foder.Janne

I mean pea not pee, my english are not so good.Janne

Thanks Janne.

Too red / artificial for my personal liking, but if this colour is 'genetically stable', you have something that a lot of Malawi-keepers are looking for!

Very impressive! Is it the shrimps or the astaxhantin that brings the red out as it does? ( i understand they both do, but which works better)

[malawijanne]

What you mean Philippe? Do you not like my fishes.malawijanne

[Pete B]

I agree with you Philippe.

[Johan Verheesen]

Don't like them. They're too red. It's not natural.
