tires_6792 & Belexes, very excellent looking Cobwe. Near my ideal of 'perfect' patterns!
cjacob316, Just give him a little more time & he'll be a show-stopper! Each one shows a slightly different variation on coloration & patterning. I've been extremely fortunate to have a seemingly stable species-only set-up in a 40BR with 3 DOM males/3 subDOMs/8 females. Check out the variation in the 3 DOMs. Look at the egg spots, the penetration of bars into the dorsal etc.... These are all from the samr batch of F1s!
I got mine from Dave btw, so I assume you bred them?
i've seen him look pretty good sometimes when i first walk into the room, but once he sees me he lightens up, has a great looking yellow crest already though
There are some incredible fish, and some terrific photos on this thread! I didn't know cynotilapia were so popular. The cyno. sp. hara were especially sweet, they might be the fish to put with my labs, especially if they were f0 or f1 like the ones thevein had!

Trying to get shots af these guys from the same angle--so the quality is suboptimal
I was looking at the afra (top pic) and the mbamba (middle pic) and thinking how close the coloration patterns were to each other...you know... yellow tail outline, yellow streak with white tips on dorsal etc.... and got to comparing the blue x black barring thru the body. After looking over all of the males, it appears that the afra typically have black bars about 1/2 the width of the blue bar and the mbamba the opposite.
Just out of the same curiosity I looked at the Chiny. Seems pretty close to equal blue to black width.
File this one under "Almost got a good shot!" I wish my DOF was set better for this shot. I couldn't get him to pose for me again :x . This is the new Dom male Lion Lions Cove. He recently took over from his father.
