Just thought I'd share a few pictures of one of my astatotilapia aeneocolor "yellow belly albert" males here. He bin crusin de chicks and be lookin' fiiiine. These guys are Lake Victoria cichlids (though maybe Lake Albert from the name) I don't know if they are still in the lake. I doubt it.
Though small, he is a psycho killer and pretty much destroys anything smaller than him, as is the way with many of the prettier cichlids.
And here he is looking smug, having just done the deed.

Stripped again today. It amazes me just how many fry the females , being young and tiny, manage to hold.
Posted 19 September 2014 - 03:37 PM
How many?
Posted 19 September 2014 - 03:46 PM
20 from a 4-5cm fish. My nkali females that breed at similar size produce about 7.
With my big hands, it makes stripping a rather nerve wracking experience.

Productive little buggers!
Are fry easy to raise?
Posted 19 September 2014 - 04:04 PM
Can't answer that yet. All fairly recently stripped. So far, so good. They show aggression at <1cm!

Wow! Such awesome colours. If I end up setting up an African tank I hope I can get one like him!
