Club Mbuna Breeding List

Tony

Alligator Snapping Turtle/Past Pres
With the upcoming Dave's Rare Fish group buy, I've managed to waste a significant amount of time today at work, browsing his list. There are a couple of "filler" hap purchases that I'm making to fix up some of my existing groups, but what has really caught my eye is his absolutely ridiculous mbuna list.

I'm starting to go cross-eyed, lol. I'm thinking of purchasing 1-2 groups of juveniles, but before I do, would like to know what is already in the club. It would be nice to bring in some new species.

So with that, I'd like to start a list of what mbuna people are keeping in the club. When I say that, I'm not talking about a list of the 15-20 singles folks have in their show "Pokemon" tank (not that there's anything wrong with that)... what I'm looking for is a list of currently-kept groups that have bred for you already or that you have ambitions to do so. Should be fun!

I'll start (I've downsized a lot on mbuna over the last few years):

  • Pseudotropheus sp. Acei Whitetail Ngara (10+ adults, constant breeding)
  • Labidochromis caereleus (10+ adults, constant breeding)
  • Pseudotropheus saulosi (8-10 growing out)
  • Metriaclima greshakei (reverse trio adults)
  • Metriaclima estherae (8-10 growing out)
I know we have a lot of mbuna keepers in the club. This could be a handy resource to know who has what and if folks are looking for something.


Cheers! :)

Ok, I agree everyone should be able to update their stock on the breeding list (hope that is ok). Everything changes too often to have a central command do all the updates.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1EL_-vDQudxqpkX1UmLnul4hYron4snDe0BtH01VJvSE/edit?usp=sharing

So please, all old world keepers, check the sheet and update your stuff...and please keep the format as is.
Let me know if there are problems.

Thx. It was actually kind of accurate for my list. I change a few things.
