Matt_Cichlids Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 Very nice!! you seem to have a decent ratio in there too. not too many males by the look of it so far. Good luck with them mate, it makes me wish i hadnt sold the 13 Ikolas i got off doug. Cheers Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBlueBaron Posted February 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 cheers for the commments guys and yeah i believe the ratio is quite good we thought we picked out 9 girls and a larger male from a deffinate earlier spawn but sadly the alfa died.. then luckily one of them stepped up to be the alfa so i am honestly thinkin i have 8 girls one boy i will have to get some pics of my moba's and kigs up soon to.. cheers matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverCichlid Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 They look awesome, well done on a well stocked colony and a good m/f ratio What size tank are they in? Thanks for sharing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBlueBaron Posted February 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 have only been in their new home a week now it is a 6x2x2 and they are lovin it as much as i am thanks guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_Cichlids Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 Im looking foward to the other pics mate, I think you have another male in there, 1st pic, fish in the centre near the top im only going off head shape hear, its really hard until they get around the 15-18cm mark, I m having the same problem with my Mpimbwes, I think you will be better off with two males anyway, makes the Alpha show off more.

Cichlidae Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 I wish, i dont have any luck with getting frontys to live together. That looks awesome, you have just motivated me to get out the grinder and sandstone from my neighbours yard/retaining wall!!! fronty colonies look great. i have an angry burundi male that now lives in the angry 6 footer. with all the others that dont get along with anyone, funny enough they all get along fine toghther. Nice work! C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
