Thanks everyone. It's a Copadichromis Trewavasae Mloto Likoma 'Fireline Mloto'. So far, he's my fav among my new ones. I'll post an updated FTS when I've finished reconstructing my set-up.
I have two anagenys both are males but I need to separate the other one due to his temperament as he always tends to hunt my pheno which is about 2.5 inches only.
yeah its awesome how they stalk smaller fish and sneak up behind them. Definitely cant keep small fish with these guys, you will see their hunter instinct come out. I have a nice male and one female but he wont color up, *** heard from someone who breeds Exos that they need to be kept in groups with other males for them to color up like your is. Heres mine about 9 inches:
@F8LBITEva Wow! that's huge man! :thumb: Yap, I'm also amazed at how they hunt their prey from a tilted body position and just focusing on one target until finally securing a grip on its prey. This unique behavior of them is also visible as that of a Christyi which hunts its prey the very same manner an Exo does. Yap, for them to show their true color potential you need to have at least 2 males in the presence of 1 female or in my exp even without a female :wink: As one will tower over the other as the dominant one in breeding dress.
As promised, well here's an update of my tank with its full tank shot..
Please bear with me with the pics' quality as I'm using only phonecam.. :wink:
