Got a small colony of 6 coming and if they grow nice and colourful, I'll get more to add to the colony! hehe!

Nice work Kev (and whoever is sourcing them for u).

Ummmm... what are they?

[golden_dase]

They're Lethrinops Sp. Yellow Collar. I have fallen in love with the Lethrinops family.. A really nice species (through my experiences with the Red Capuz!). I want to start collecting different Lethrinops now... hehe!

Ive had these guys at the shop before, they are really nice.

[golden_dase]

When? Where? How much? LOL! Now you tell me! Sheeeesh!

[Fox]

About 1yr ago, From memory they were around $35 7cm, they werent expensive, BUT!!!!! that was back then price changes all the time. So they may have gone up. I havent seen them around for some time now.

I wouldn't put any Lethrinops species in with Champsochromis Spilorhynchus if that is what you are thinking. The Champs will chew these guys up and keep them from breeding. Atleast mine will, mine are very aggressive

My Champsochromis Spilo. (breeding and have been producing fry for ages) are not aggressive at all in a 8ft tank. Sure they might chase a fish away that gets too close during their 'dance', but aside from that, they are rather peaceful. Are you feeding yours enough?

No probs mate, you're welcome to drop by anytime!

2 of the males are showing a bit of their "yellow" already. hehe!

[Ronny]

I'll bring the camera round when I stop by with the computer

Just not sure when yet lol

[golden_dase]

Oh yeah.. forgot that you've got an old PC with dodgey case fan!

[golden_dase]

Can anyone guess whats the best thing to happen when you're buying one of your favourite fish? hehe!

[dazzabozza]

Already got a mouthful?

[golden_dase]

One of the females came with a mouthful! I'm guessing she's been holding for a few days now.. and still has it after her flight from over East! What a good girl!
She's been "rolling" her eggs all day!

Anyways, I'm rapt!!

[Fox]

Let her have the mouthful Kev.... Don't strip her.
