After seeing the latest "tang" trend i didnt jump on the bandwagon and still love my malawis !

Ive a few excess shots after being busy snapping away for the June photo comp, so here they are

Acei ngara (These i got as juvies from Den 4 years ago and still love them)





Electric yellow male (one of the hobbys mainstays and still a great fish)



Copadichromis trewavasae (this is a juvie male that is getting re-homed to a friends fish room next weekend) The adults of these are infurating to get a decent pic of as they are a spectaular malawi in breeding dress !



Photos do those guys no justice !

Aquatic_Dreams favourite fish the albino peacock ( originally got these as albino eureka reds but unfortunately dont look like the pure strain id hoped for so didnt label them wrong) Also fondly known as eye burners (Az again) for being so bright !



Copadichromis mbenji (I think although i saw a copadichromis sp in aquotix today which the name eludes me and seemed to look the same as well ! Any help here Krystal ? )





Thats it for now !

That one is awesome! Any juvies?

Great healthy looking fish mate!
And yes, I agree.. Malawi still rock!!

[Sazabi]

For a while there I thought you were talking about a new kind of rock.... Malawi still rocks..... Like Texas holey rocks....

[Scat]

No juvies Kev, This popped up as a stray in the group of trewavasae i bought last year, and only have the one atm, plus im only running 1 tank for malawis currently.

Cheers

[golden_dase]

That's a shame..
You should try to get more of them & breed. I like how their dorsal fin is similar to Red Capuz...

[Scat]

Too many fish i want and not enough room !!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! (reaches for sunglasses) My eye's are burning


Great shots Cheesy

[cichlid4lyf]

nice shots craig.
i think the tang fase is going out and the malawi fase it coming in!

have you still got your flavus?

cheers,
Phil!

[Scat]

Hey Phil

Nah mate the flavus went ages ago, they were super aggresive for a malawi i found, Just have kept my core fav malawis, ( acei nagara, e/yellows and a few other odds n ends ).

Yeah bring back in the malawis , there are heaps of awesome ones still getting around !

Saw alot of real nice malawis in Aquotix today !

Cheers
Craig

P.S Az i knew you would love the eye burners lol

[CubanB]

i much prefer malawis over those stupid shellies LOL. You've got a great collection there and all fish look very healthy and happy!

The first one pictured has an interesting body shape. Is that the female in the 3rd picture or is it same fish and different lighting?

[Scat]

Thanks CubanB

Same fish although different lighting , and they can be tricky to sex.

Nice collection Craig!

Big fan of the Ngara, something different

How big is it?

[Scat]

They are around 12cm,

They still breed but are excellent at hiding mouthfuls plus they swallow more often than not.

Need a malawi revival to combat teh Tangs

Cheers
Craig

[Ronny]

12cm

It looks like a monster in the pics lol.

I'm still dreaming of a South American phase LOL

[Scat]

Its like me " Well rounded"

MALAWIS WHERE ITS AT FOR ME ... ALWAYS

real nice shots bro

[cichlid4lyf]

hey craig do you still have chewere?

cheers,
Phil!

[Scat]

Hi Phil,

Sorry mate i no longer have the chewere, I had to scale back how many malawi tanks i was running so i could expand on my cats.

There is so many nice malawis out there, one day i hope to go back to more malawi tanks but room is limited for me.

Ive kept my core favourites and have the odd few that i play with then move on and get different fish in to breed, which is good for building up my bap.

Cheers
Craig

[Krystal]
