My Tanganyikans are doing great.

Happens every time I do a major water change and drop the temp a few degrees my cyps breed like crazy. I have 8 females holding now. The rest of the group is doing great as well.

how large are the fronts? the pics make them appear to be young, but in a couple of pics. i notice the hump on the forehead forming...... i love their colors! and your pictures are amazing. you really captured all of their colors well.

The biggest...with the head bump growing is just over 8 inches, he is a wild caught fish. The other fronts are close to five inches. They are all pretty close in age but the alpha male is getting big faster than the rest. The Kigoma cyps are just under five inches for the males and about four for the females. All the Kigoma cyp adults are wild caught. I have quite a few F1 fry just ready for sale.

So what are the ones in the 1st 3rd and 4th pic? Curious how big they get and would the do good in a Tropheus tank with 33 Red Rainbows? 72" bowfront.

The smaller fish with the vertical stripes are some of my Victorians. the blue and yellow tailed fish are Kigoma cyprichromis, and they would do just fine in a tropheous set up. I have F1 fry for sale ...send me a PM if you have more questions.

your fish are looking great man. congrats on the spawns. looking forward to getting some of those cyps this weekend. your kilisa look awesome. can't tell males and females yet but they are bigger than i expected. close to 2". got a surprise for u too. keep up the good work.

I had to look Pomeroy up had no clue where it was, only to see it's about as far away from Bellingham as a town can get in Washington

My brother lives in Bellingham.......I might go up there next month.

Pomeroy is not big, its easy to miss.

If you think the fish would be able to make the trip, I could possibly be up for some.. Keep in touch! You golf??

They travel well in a couple buckets....I golf poorly

iandraco is getting some fry I'm sure he'll put up some pics.

yeah jim i had to look it up myself. if you end up getting some maybe i could get some offspring from you .

I really like the color on those cyps. Eight holding; that's awesome!

I'll have to get bigger tubs if this keeps up. but I'll have a bunch of F1 fry to spread around by mid fall.
