This is my first time having Pelvicachromis spawn and I have to say they are honestly my favorite fish (although I'll always have a soft spot for L. brevis). I can't get enough of watching them care for the fry. The male will snag a wayward fry now and again and spit them back into the coconut...
I moved my remaining Moliwe juveniles (they must be the equivalent of teenagers at this point) into a 29 gallon tank last Sunday. The tank has lots of wood, some plants, and a ton of mulm. I thought about siphoning the mulm out, but remembered that Pelvicachromis likes to pick through detritus...
Breeding pair of pelvicachromis taeniatus moliwe with fry, I got these guess from Mchambers and I want to thank him for such great fish. These guys bred in my 55 gallon dirted community tank, I hope you can see the babies.
Here are a few of the things I might be bringing....I'll post pics as soon as I can.
Metriaclima glaucos Kanjindo Rocks "Flameback" ~1 to 1.5 in.
Pseudotropheus cyaneorhabdos Maingano ~ 1 in.
Amatitlania (cryptoheros) coatepeque juvies ~ 1 in.
Pelvicachromis taeniatus Moliwe - young pairs...
Ok, so I just lost my third female Pelvicachromis taeniatus Moliwe tonight. All three females have suffered the same malady and I've heard rumor that its not uncommon. No other fish in the tank, including the male Moliwe, seem unaffected.
When it happens, the female is in full spawning...
Hi :)
Anyone have some?
Wet Spot doesn't have any, Aquabid doesn't have any... I'm wondering if they disappeared from the States all together, haha.
If not these, then the "Nigeria Red", "Lokundje" or Dehane??
