some pics of my WC male cyno. sp. "lion" cape kaiser
not that good of pics but you need to see him when he wants to spawn with the female then his colors truly come out. enjoy
S4surf, very interesting cobwe there. Never seen one that turns it's bars off so much--looks very cool!
przezda, Nice looking Jalo Reefs! Especially like the last male. While bar extensions into the dorsal are quite normal (such as in the first male), I LOVE the look of the ones with the uninterrupted yellow. 8)
CichlidWhisperer, my tank raised group from way back looked exactly like yours (see the species article for Cyno Mbweca here) , however the WC ones I got are much different looking and appear to me to better match Ad's pics in his books.
Thanks for the comments. they were a very nice group and very prolific. Their dad always showed his stripes but his fry always seemed to keep them hidden. I personally like them more without the bars, but I can see why people like the stripes. To each his own
Here are a few of mine. All except the Hara and the Red Top Likoma are housed in my 80 Gallon all-male Mbuna tank though some of these shots were before i released them into the general population! :lol:
Two shots of the smaller C. sp. "Lion" Magunga I got. Looks like I have two males but until they really settle in - or I vent them - I won't know for sure.
Nick, I'll be sure to send you my address for some albino Cobwe and Mphanga Rocks. :lol: I'd take some Chiny's but I don't know how they'd fair with my Hara or afra Lupingu.
Wow, all of these pics have me :drooling: ! I have a question though. At what size do the Afras really start to color up? I have some Jalo Reefers that I mail ordered from a well known dealer as juvies 2 months ago. I've had my eye on at least 2 that seem to be slightly bigger(maybe an 1 1/2") as well as showing a bit more color.
