Anyways, my frontosa did not come through. So fishless at this time. Will keep trying to some, but the locals are so unreliable.

Its real. Chalimbana is just outside Lusaka. I live on the farm here - whole area is farms. We are about 30 Klms outside Lusaka and about 8 Klms or so from the airport, which is kind of handy.

Hahahaha....yea, i posted myself here. Long time ago. How did you know I was in Zambia?
I want big ones this time around because the last lot i got (50 x 2-3" from Chumbu) took years to get to breeding size and as they were starting to spawn I lost the lot in a big power outage - I have an inverter and batteries but this power outage was a big one so had no power for days and we couldn't pump water or run an air pump. Heartbreaking.
What I've never been able to get to spawn are Alto's - plus after all this time i never realized they were so sensitive to water temp differences during water changes. Got a lot to learn on some species.

Thanks Mutley.
I am interested in figuring out how to get them spawning easily. I've kept them before but had lots of losses - these are not an easy fish to acclimate. One thing I came across in my reading is that they are VERY sensitive to water temperature differences when doing water changes.I never knew that. I'll be watching out for it this time around though.
