some of my pets.

heres some of my pets. they are african rift lake cichlids. from lake malawi. and some of lake tanganyika . they live in water with an high ph of 8.0 to 8.6 and kh and gh of 9.0 to 14.0 and 16 to 19.0 i have a mixture of tank bred and wild. in a 5.5 ft tank filled with slate rocks.








breeding

they are mouth brooders, that hold eggs and babies in they're mouths. for protection. they only realease if not in danger. as in this pic



and now some of the off spring.









these fish loose the spotting with a yellow stripe, as you can see appearing in this pick.

and this is lucky

 

Your fish are beautiful! (and your dog is cute!)

 

A great selection.:gnthb:
I only have a community tank now but used to have some Julies years ago.

 

hi, they're lovely.
we have a tank of malawi's too (hubby's pride and joy are a breeding pair of 'enormous' fontosa). We also have a south american cichlid tank.
My Husband is a real fish fanatic, he keeps hinting at a marine tank but we'd need to mortgage the house to achieve that!!!

 

i used to have fronts boohoo, wish i never got rid. they get big though.
what fronts have you got.

 

Corrr, dont ask me! they're hubbies. I didn't know they came in different sorts!
they are big, blue (ish) and have HUGE heads!!!
I'll try and get a piccy up later x

 

so have they got the humps on they're heads. and are they in a big tank.you need a minimum of a 7 ft fish tank to keep them. but what a cracking fish.

 

Cute doggy and the fish are really pretty, especially the blue color in the first fish!

 

he was trying to impress the ladies, lmao looks like it works.

 

:lollol:Yep!!

 

Great pics, goodness your tank is spotless! Nice to have some info on the fish too. Lucky looks laid back, ha ha. Thanks for sharing.

cheers

 

There good pics. My pics of fish tanks are never that clear.

 

it takes many shots to get 1 decent one.
and thanks all for nice remarks.
