I added the group to my mbuna tank over the weekend and they retained their color. I have between 2-4 males. At one point I had a holding female but the eggs are gone.
We will see how they do as tankmates over the coming year or two.
Everyone is getting along at this point and males are retaining, even gaining color. I have at least three, maybe four males in the tank. I am surprised they don't seem to fight. Is that usual with Pundamilia or just the lull before the storm? :lol:
I believe these fish have variability in their aquarium colour after a number of generations in tank breeding, and I think they've mellowed out a great deal. I could only ever keep one male in a tank, no matter the size.
I had some new yellow lab fry in a breeder net in the nyererei fry tank. Forgot about the breeder net with a little hole in the mesh.
Well the newly spit yellow labs are now mingled with the month old nyererei fry. I'm surprised they are not gone. We will see how they do.
