My saulosi just keep breeding. Letting things happen naturally and I got 7 on this last batch. The parents are getting better as I have only had 1 or 2 survive on the previous batches.

My Nimbochromis Polystigma. Not prego, just eats like a pig. Interesting fish that has been known to play dead on the bottom to lure little fish closer for a snack, but otherwise it is not aggressive at all. Might show some nice color when full size.

The polystigma looks like it ate the rest of the saulosi fry. Shocked Mine was a big eater too.

Definitely keep him in a different tank from those fry. They remind me of Rock Cod fishing in the San Juan Islands. It was one of those impulse purchases at Kevin's store. I always see something new in there.

Yeah, mine was kind of an impulse buy as well. He outgrew my tank so I had to find him a new home. I also had a female at one time that would do the playing dead behavior. The first time I saw it, I actually thought she was dead and went to scoop her out with the net. It scared me when she took off and swam away. Shocked
