Video: Petrochromis Famula Chituta

[algarciajr]

I have 40 w/c trews, 20 trew fry(1"-2") with at least 40 moop trophs in a 210. Both groups were breading great. every thing was fine for 9 months but now they have grown and grown.. There is way to many dominate fish with no place to set up a territory. Breading has stopped. So it's time to seperate them and I am sure breeding will pick back up were it left off.

Calling you later this evening to see what the plans are for tomorrow.

The Petros always want to be top dog. If they are the same size as your trophs, they will fight them. I seen over and over again with my Famula and Trophs.

As much as I miss my Famula, I'm gald to be rid of them out of my Ikola tank.

these fish came from gilbert glove and before that atlantis brough them in so a what point did u have them?

I bought them from Gilbert, and then sold them back to him when i moved to Utah.

[geoff_tropheus]

oops wrong "front" guy...

[algarciajr]

Anyone on hear know anything about Chituta? The only thing I can find about Chituta is a stream in North-Western, Zambia, Africa. Chituta is also known as Kiampelembe, Kilutu(googled) .

[txfront]

I couldnt find any info at all on that variant. I never saw any breeding, and they were pretty mellow in a 110 long by themselves

[algarciajr]

Noticed one female packing today, do petros hold for the same time as trophs?

[geoff_tropheus]

I would say they hold for about the same time, one big difference is that if you get one female to hold and spit, be ready for about 30-50 from each female

[algarciajr]

I had one female holding about a month ago, but I think she ate the eggs. I now have 2 females holding and wondering if I should strip or let them spit? I don't think anyone has got any fry from this bunch yet.

[peterp63]

I'd let them spit. They're still young. They might get it right this time. Mine did the same thing.

[algarciajr]

Peter,

I was thinking about them being to young to hold to term. I think I will let them spit, whenever that may be.
