Awesome pics.

[skiitswitch]

nice pics! what kind of tank do you have them in?

[Blair]

Thanks Solace & skiitswitch!

Both are in my Oceanic 150 tall. I actually have a trio of Champsochromis caeruleus and a pair of fuscos. Neither have spawned yet but I have been seeing both males displaying for their females so I hope it wont be long.

Killer predators!!!!I love it, awsome fish! <to the people CD's recently ofended with "McZebra" comments> See why I say it's a waste to put Megapet Mbuna in BIG tanks! So many cool fish out there!

[Blair]

Thanks Seedy!

Great fish. What do you feed them?

[Blair]

They eat flake. I feed them Exotic Tropicals Krill flake

[Seedy]

Really Flake?!?! Huh....I would think they wound "demand" something more solid like pellets (or even feeders...what a great way to get rid of Mbuna hybrids....)

[Blair]

I have fed feeders before........a long time ago. I ended up with some fish getting sick so I stay away from them now.

They stay quite fat on the flakes so that's their staple food. I do feed brine shrimp as a treat about once a week or when I want to trigger a spawn.

[Seedy]

Well they look Great, so keep up whatever you are doing! :ok:

[Blair]

Thanks Seedy!

[Matt V]

wait for tom to post an annoucement at the top of every forum and just follow the crowd!

and i'd like to add my voice to the praise for your fish! their really cool. jealousy of those who have the space for big tanks now reappearing....

i love that Champsochromis...

when i get my house and my fish basement i will have lake malawi down there.

[skiitswitch]

hehehe Matt - like the steps just go down into the water, and you have to visit the Scuba locker first and walk into "the tank." Hmmm... that'd be pretty sweet... "over on the back wall we have pombo rocks, and over there is Mbamba bay... and there in the middle is one of my reefs - I think thats Sambia..." hehehe - sounds fun to me! :dance: :dance:

[Seedy]

Ahhhh forget tank diving in the basement! I want a "snooba" system, so I can stay down all day!!!
