These are one of the best looking Cichlids around. For the early holliday shoppers I am offering a very special price at $10 each (half my regular price) The catch is you must buy at least 3 to get this price. I will sell single fish for $15 each. These can be kept in anything over a 30 gallon but a 40 gallon will make them very happy. Males take on amazing colors at maturity and even more amazing colors when courting females. I have fry from 1 inch to 2 inch. They grow fast with males maxing out at a little over 4 inches, and females at 3 inches. They do very well in community Cichlid tanks, and will be fine in a wide range of PH, though mid 6's is ideal. PM me if interested. I have quite a few, but the closer to Christmas it gets the quicker they sell, and when it speeds up I will put them back at the regular price. Daddy needs a new gold tooth!

Actually lake victoria has a lower PH than most African rift lakes, and has an average around 6.4 if memory serves me. That being said I keep mine in a PH closer to 7.6 since it's what comes out of the tap and I have kept them in takes with young frontosa at about 8.4, they are active and breed in any of these PH levels.

These fish are absolutely stunning in person!!! Well worth the money!!

Well then I could put these butes in with my CA. Hmmm. [/quote]

Yes you could, just acclimate them slowly to your PH. They are sitting at 7.6 currently.

Your very Welcome!!

On the water they were quite happy in my SA & CA super friendly water, takes me more work to keep my Malawi & Tang stock happy LOL When they made the last leg up to Todd there were a few females holding.

Just a update. I still have plenty of these, and now am considering trades for equipment. Mainly I need Acrylic tanks sizes 40 gallons and up, canister filters, a pond pump. Something like an AP 40, AP 50, AP 60 would be ideal, but other large air pumps would be considered. I also could use some Eheim heaters, 10 gallon tanks, and dare I hope a nice generator??

Any trades will not only get you some great fish, but also go to a good cause as I am involved in breeding some of the most rare and endangered Victorian Cichlids as part of a preservation project and with a goal of introducing these fish to the American hobby soon. Victorian Cichlids are amazingly diverse like the fish of Malawi, but unfortunately about half of the species were lost in the last 20 to 30 years do to some poor choices by people. The lake is extremely interesting because it is a prime example of hyper evolution. Confirmed species have been observed in the lake going from blue to red in a matter of half a decade! It is worth a read if you have time.
