  • Which cyp?

    I recently freed up a little tank space (a 215g). . . and have decided on Cyprichromis. I'm having a bit of trouble deciding on a species and variant. I haven't had any of these before -- aside from the Bulu Point. Which one of these would you keep?

    1. Cyprichromis microlepidotus Karilani

    2. Cyprichromis microlepidotus Kasanga

    3. Cyprichromis microlepidotus Kiriza Black

    4. Cyprichromis sp. Zonatus "Blue Zebra"
    5. Cyprichromis leptosoma Bulu Point

    6. Cyprichromis leptosoma Chaitika "Tri-Color"

    7. Cyprichromis leptosoma Katete

    8. Cyprichromis leptosoma "Speckle Back" Moba

    Scarecrow: I don't know... But some people without brains do an awful lot of talking... don't they?
    Dorothy: Yes, I guess you're right.

      Fair enough.

      I want to see more cyps in Houston. I currently am getting fry from leptosoma Kitumba, leptosoma Kariliani, and leptosoma Mbita if you want to trade in the future

          Yup!

          Kiriza black is what I would get.

          Are these going to be WC?

              If I can get ahold of WC, that is probably what I'll do.

                          three and eight are tough to choose against.

                          Went with three. Have never seen it before and it looks really really nice.

                            Tim, go for the Kiriza or tricolor.
                            the Moba are the same as the Kitumba you have.
