I have been bitten by the Petro bug! Although I have had quiet a few Petrochromis in my tanks, they have stayed for only a brief time before moving on to new homes. My recent group (the Red Luagala Pt.) have been with me for about a month, by far the longest I have kept a group of Petros, and have really done a sales job on convincing me these are great fish to keep. Here is a video of them trying out some shrimp mix:

cichlidfan has one petro in his front tank he calls sunny.....when i feed them sunny runs up to my hand first and tries to grab all the food it's mouth can hold....sometimes he/she takes a bite of my finger too....they don't hurt....it feels funny and makes me laugh when they all do that at the same time....
thanks for sharing very beautiful fish....love the song in the background too.....Comment
