doesn't look like a Fuelleborni or a Trewavase to me... More like a juvie metriaclima greshakei...

Probable pud nga greshakei kay lahi ang position sa baba sa fuelleborni.


Greshakei was my first mbuna cichlid I bought from Alvin Jeanjaquet of Consuelo Village in Basak, Mandaue. Wala pa to sila maninda sa Ayala (sometime in year 2001).


Problema lang ini nila kay mo interbreed ang mbunas.

I have even a case nga akong compressicep kay ni cross ug red empress nga mura ug lahi man unta ni nga family. Ang anak kay alanganin red empress ug alanganin pud nga compressicep.

First of all let me introduce my self, my name is Chuck and I have been keeping and breeding fish since grade five pako I live in California now but bisayang dako, pardon my English kay galisod gyud ko ug basa and type in bisaya, I found this site sa mypalhs.com ang hilig nako is to breed fish and have breed a lot of mbuna's and fish from lake Tanganyika, lately I keeping catfish, plecos and Loaches, enough with the intro.

sakto si choyadgreat it looks like M. greshakei aka zebra complex pero mora ug cross bred ni siya ug kenyi, ang Labeotropheus fuelleborni and trewavase the upper lip extends further.

It is better to crowd the tank if you are keeping Malawi mbuna fishes just make sure you have enough O2 in the tank so put more airstones its the same thing if you keep Tropheus from lake Tang.

The cheapest way to feed your fish is to make your own fish food for herbivore try the Shrimp Mix Tropheus/Mbuna Shrimp Mix Food there are lots of variation in this food I used to add Salmon, and for carnivorous fish you could just use beef heart mix with Liver SimplyDiscus.com: Foods and Nutritions: Recipes all of this you can find online and for the guy who cant keep angelfish fry, try hard boiled eggs the yolk just take a tiny bit and rub between your fingers or place it in a small jar and shake it with water.

CR6 will make you fish color up but would kill them if you overdo it, I believe this has hormones in it, another side effect of this is the fish would get sterile, one good thing is, if you have a tank full of mixed female peacocks and Victorians you can feed this to your fish and would be able to distinguish w/c females belong to w/c males.

Archocentrus nigrofasciatus aka canvict cichlids are only aggressive if they start breeding but then if you put a lot of them in a small tank you will still be able to keep them and would sometimes breed, but a lot of the other fish would be torn up, the theory behind this is there are to many fish for them to chase and they wont be able to concentrate on one particular fish.

Sometimes you are able to breed fish even though the water parameters are not exactly the same as in the wild as long as you have both sexes and sometimes a lot of luck, currently i am breeding Plecos from South America but I am using the same water as my African cichlids w/c is slightly hard straight out of the faucet, with the addition of dechlorinator.

Kenny,

you have a lot of nice fish the leleupi you have puedi na nimo ipa color up using a light colored gravel or sand and feed a lot of Daphnia you can even culture your own Daphnia Daphnia is a great food for many young and adults fishes., make sure to separate your calvus and compressiceps when they are ready to breed cos they will easily cross

I cultured this one


Calvus and leleupi

here are some more calvus in a 10 Gallon tank this fish breeds with two females and I am using the extra male zebra obliquidens as a dither fish


the Astatotilapia latifasciata aka zebra obliquidens was used to breed the Synodontis multipunctatus its the catfish with the bigger spots


some Tropheus and Variabilichromis moorii fry some of these pics a very old



Kachese Tropheus

[thefishdaddy]

if you add bristlenose pleco in your tang then you don't have to wipe the inside of your tank they will do that job for you ang imong buhaton is to just vacuum the graveland change the water ones in a while if the tank is not that crowded.
