What happened to your albino afra cobwe?
He is the only fish I have ever had die of bloat. Actually saved my C. Lion Mara Point who had bloat as well. The albino struggled in my hospital tank for almost a month with an increasing abdomen while I tried just about everything I could think of. I finally did the humane thing and put him out of his misery when he was on his side under a rock no longer able to swim.

BTW, I simply love your last picture.. He is beautiful! Being that you are in Texas, I am guessing you get most of your fish from Dave?

Nick A, your likoma are magnificent specimens. Maybe one day, I will have half as many cyno species as you.

I think that the Jalo will be my next attempt. That or if i can ever find ndumbi.

The thing i like the best about cynotilapia species is their unpopularity. I didnt want fish that you could find in a petco. Although most of the females are hideous, no other mbuna out there can match the coloration in an excited cynotilapia.
