Getting a lot of joy watching this guy colour.

And today I managed to find him a possible mate. She looks to be the ticket, but slightly motheaten and thin. Soon fix that.

Hopefully a few weeks fattening followed by lots of Barry White will be the ticket. Wish me luck!

Nice fish. I hope you have a big tank, these guys need plenty of room for a Lake Malawi cichlid.

That's like keeping a Doberman in a closet.

he looks unreal good luck with them, i recently picked up a group of 5 adult b.rhoadesii, got them in a 7x2 which seems enough while theres no breeding, but both times they've spawned they definately need a bigger tank, the big boof is a gentle giant till he wants a bit

If you want to breed them quick Kleinz, sell them to Ray cheap. They will breed in a week!

Just taking the P. out of you stingray keepers. They have a 6x2x2 to themselves. Thank you for playing

I don't really mind if they breed or not but thought I'd give them the chance. The b.rhoadesii are pretty.

If claiming to keep fish in small tanks to get a rise out of people is your form of entertainment, then it may be time to re-evaluate the way you are living.
