Posted by Rastinger62 on 11 September 2015 - 03:28 PM

Really starting to think my dominant male can't take a bad pic lol
He is a full on show pony that loves the camera. Shame he doesn't breed as well the lazy bugger. There is 18-20 females at size so no excuse lol

Enjoy!!!!

#343505 Cynotilapia Zebroides (Jalo Reef)

Posted by Rastinger62 on 20 August 2015 - 02:38 PM

Scooped up a unsexed group of Cynotilapia zebroides (Jalo Reef).
16 hours in the display tank a male coloured up. So did the breeding tank I set aside.
Hopefully can pump some fry from these baby's cause when there showing off for breeding there breeding dress is stunning.
Here is the pic of one of the males I stole for display.
I'll take some more over the next few days.

#343294 Buccochromis Rhoadesii

Posted by Rastinger62 on 14 August 2015 - 10:40 PM

Thought I would share some buccochromis Rhoadesii pics I've recently taken of my colony which I stole from Perth There is 3m 9m 20-25cm in an 8x2x2 so still a bit more growing to go yet as they get up around 35-40cm in the right conditions. Ill have to take some more pics when he goes into breeding mode again. he is much nicer again in colour and goes black in the anal fin, pectoral fins and tail. An awesome sight to see in person. My pics doesn't give them justice. But anyways.... Enjoy ac921528fee8dab8c0bbe2fdc498b87b.jpg49f145b5b0d69442d0eeeb565fc1de6e.jpg1e3fbbe0f26f5a7d0a5fbe8d7b8e25f0.jpgde2f78590f3ec919822652a5730312de.jpg351e41a31025282c9701c3e104f1747a.jpg

#333973 10X3X2.5Ft African Display Tank

Posted by Rastinger62 on 23 January 2015 - 10:11 PM

This tank started out as an all male Malawi Hap tank but after getting over 20 different species of haps in there everything was just too blue so I had to start adding in different coloured mbuna and peacocks to break up the colour. The fish range from 8cm - 32cm so it's still a work in progress but getting there. I think I'm up around 35 odd species and about 5 hybrids.
Not a pro on the camera but enjoy my fish photography and slowly getting better lol.

#327974 Buccochromis Lepturus

Posted by Rastinger62 on 25 September 2014 - 12:35 PM

There is 1m 4f @ 20 - 27cm ish in a 8x2x2. I'll be holding off all fry for sale until I have 2 back up super colonies for future breeding. I can't find anyone else that owns them in oz and last time fry was sold which I can find was over 3 years ago so trying my best to keep these in the country before they die off which would be a real shame if that happened

Posted by Rastinger62 on 24 September 2014 - 07:05 PM

Sera Flora Flakes and a fish fishing pellet which with no colour enhancers. 

Different settings on the camera seem to show different colour of the fish a bit. Mine is yellow throughout the body but does have a nice bit of red in him as well.
