    Tell me about Pelvicachromis kribensis

    I just did it last night and already notice a difference. The female follows the male around without dancing as much and the male doesn't try to chase her away. They have been swimming in and out from under this one piece of driftwood a lot.

    Wild Caught Frontosa

    Londontowne tropicals had some frontosa with locality but I'm not sure if they were F0 or which locality, definitely one of the more famous blue locales though

    Tell me about Pelvicachromis kribensis

    that's good to know since I am also in frederick. I've given them some leaf litter so hopefully they appreciate the extra bit of acidity. I figured you were the right Andrew but just wanted to be sure lol anything special to get them to spawn or do they just kinda do it?

    Tell me about Pelvicachromis kribensis

    For anyone in the market, Londontowne has a ton of WC P. kribensis dehane and P. taeniatus(?) right now. I got myself a pair of the former. I overheard Andrew talking about them at the October meeting but I wasn't sure of his tag on here/didn't want to DM the wrong Andrew by accident. That...

    Future cichlid tank

    That's what I'd do, most of my tanks don't have heaters altogether. MOST fish are fine/do better at the lower end of their temp ranges or at the very least appreciate seasonal drops in temp

    Looking for Andinocara stalsburgi

    He got the czech ones Kurt... Need a better pic of the scales on the body. The main diagnostic is green scales lined with black vs black scales lined in green. Again, I got the euro bred one from Londontowne, asked Jeff Rapps about the fish I got and he is certain mine at least is rivulatus. I...

    Future cichlid tank

    No, I had no issues feeding them to mbuna, peacocks, or fryeri. I used bug bites for about 4 years before switching to sera just because of the volume of food I needed for how many fish I have. Sera is very fish fatty however, but just in time as I offloaded all my rift lakes. I have a friend...

    Future cichlid tank

    It's less of the protein vs vegetable matter and more of temperature + fat content/origin, fish fat will cause issues with mbuna and higher temps make anything more prone to bloat. Fattier foods will cause issues, but a good middle ground is bug bites as the protein/fat comes from bugs and is...

    Future cichlid tank

    Venustus is known from 3 localities, being luwala reef, zimbabwe rock, and senga bay. I personally would stick to luwala reef as it has more variety (imo) than zimbabwe rock, and has more hobby available species than senga bay. While most of the time species are completely fine with...
