Big Boys in the 180

[DiscusnAfricans]

Here are some pics of my All-Male Mixed Malawi Tank. Some of these fish were raised from fry, and some were acquired through club members or LFS. The peacocks range between 4 and 6 inches, and some of the big haps are pushing 8". Big thanks to Tony for letting me borrow his camera so I could take these pictures. Definitely came out much better than anything I had available.

I bought this fish at Scales. I stopped in one day and was talking to Andrew and asked him if he had anything cool and different in stock. He pointed to a tank labeled "Black-fin Blue zebra." They were small, but he said the males developed a yellow face and turned out really pretty. He was definitely right, one of my favorite mbuna, also one of my few remaining. Not sure of the exact classification, probably a Pseudotropheus/Metriaclima, just a best guess at this point.

Nice pics! How many are in the tank altogether?

I'm not exactly sure, probably about 20 haps/peacocks plus 4 Syno. petricola. There were several fish I couldn't get great pictures of, these were the best of the ones I could get.

Those guys move really fast, so they're not the easiest to photograph, but I'll get some pics posted by the end of the week.

I think I only took one, here it is. The generic background makes the scene a little busy, but looks better than nothing. Don't have a ton of scaping because these guys are big enough not to need much.
