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?
Jeff, I'll have to get on his case about that... :lol: I'm still waiting for some fry to come from the Lion's Cove again, but I think I have a female or two of the C. sp. hara holding - I'll know for sure next waterchange.
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.
Spyder, sounds good to me. I have been going to Beloit wis. alot lately best friend dying from cancer. so its a few more miles to you so getting there is no problem. when ever you have some juvies I will take some.
I have 5 now. Sold 6 but going to get more. One of the guys from GBAS breeds them. Haven't got mine to breed yet. He has dozens of them. All around 2 inches at $2.00 each
Bet you're gonna get a LOT of PMs for those :lol: Excellent deal for a very nice fish!
bac3492, gathering this collection was the motivator to build the fishroom! 8) Couldn't keep this many types without it.
