Tropheus brichardi (kabimba) aka Canary Cheek

[LordBarron7692]

So Is this the drink of choice when having visitors over?

[Geral]

Wanna give a big thanks to Cuon for help me today setting
Up the scape in the canary cheek and Strip a canary cheek and get some into the tumbler

Np. Any time. Lmk when you wanna paint that tank blue or maybe even a off white color. That would probably make the fish pop more also

If anyone wants Puerto Rican rum let me know. My parents live there and are coming to visit next week. They always offer to bring me rum but I don't drink it much. I am still sitting on the three bottles of Ron del Barrilto they brought me several years ago.

Thanks Cuon I will take u on that one white I never think about it MLB but I bet the color will pop a lot.

Gene D I didn't know u puerto rican too? I think we are a few in the box? That's good !

[Gene D]

Actualy Geral I am not but I do have family there. I spent just about every summer of my youth running around the island. Let me know if you want anything.

[Geral]

Well in the last week I lost 6 eggs

But today the smaller female give 3 fry
Hold for full term up to 5 fry in the last month
So I think I would build a colony pretty soon

They might be one more in the rocks will check later

Hell yeah son!!!!!

[Geral]

Thanks J

Well done Geral. You might consider stripping the next time. Brichardi tend to have larger clutches than other variants and you might be able to build the colony quicker that way

[Geral]

A update on this colony good and bad

Good last 2 batch were 6 each I think I have around 12 fry
at 1" the bigger 5 I have before they got kill by ilangis. Now they are growing with petro fry


As the main colony right now are under heavy treatment
Bacterial,parasite, fungus I add 6 WC that have some kind of illness I am fighting , hopefully I won't loose any fish, will see ..... Good thing even in heavy medication they are breeding May have some for sale pretty soon maybe next batch .

[Geral]

update on this :the 6 WC canary cheek Moganman sold me 3 of them died they came sick with parasites and got the whole colony sick
but after 3 weeks of treatment with metro,prazi,nitrofurazone,pimafix,melafix trying to cover bacterial ,fungus, parasite now the main colony is in good health again and now have 3 holding and there will have my F1 will post pic later.

Good job on getting them healthy man. It was a constant struggle for me and I knew since you had the F1 to dither the aggression, you would make the most out of it.
