Xenotilapia papilio Mvuna

[longstocking]

This week in the fish room has been GREAT !

I was looking up at the top tank on one of my racks today, deciding if I wanted to do a water change on the tank or not. I have a group of 10 Xenotilapia papilio 'Mvuna' in the 30 gallon tank. They all fight with each other (I think there are actually a couple pairs in the tank ) ... constantly! I was going to start moving things around and pull the 'pairs' out and give them their own tanks next week. Well, I guess I don't need to

I spotted a female holding 10 minutes ago. I have no idea which one is her mate, but I guess time will tell

I don't have any pics of mine but here is a link to one....

Awesome! Is this their first spawn?

The Empress strikes again. Those sand sifters are really neat. Your fish room is keeping you busy!:jumpy:

It's keeping me very busy this year

Yes, it's their first spawn I've had them for a while... I've been raising them up to breed I love sand sifters especially Xenotilapia. Aggression is minimal with these peaceful fish, even if they do fight. They always display their fins and strut around the tank. I have a few rocks in the tank and I guess they spawed on those. Even though it's a sand dweller it's always good to have rocks in with them.
