newly acquired tanganyikan cichlids

Post by zenrow »

Just brought home 9 baby F1 Cyphotilapia frontosa Kabwe "Kalolo Blue" yesterday, they're between an inch and a half to two inches long. Took a few pics this morning now they've had some time to settle in. Hope you like them.

They look great, really like them. How big will they grow, curious to know.

Lovely additions to your tank, Sean. I've seen those little guys going for a pretty penny on some UK sites. Did you have to take out a second mortgage?

Got a good deal on them from a private breeder, got to see the wild caught adults and they were massive, really chunky blue beasts. He had some Kavala ones too, but I didn't want to mix them, would've had to separate them later on. The pics don't do them justice, they're just point and shoot, but in person they're lovely.

If all goes well with my malawi, might consider a tanganyikan swap for the tropical.
