Petrochromis

[armthehomeless]

As is usually the case when I become interested in something, I try to find out as much information as I can about it. Although I don't plan on ever having any species of Petrochromis, I stumbled across this article:

http://www.cichlid-forum.com/articles/petrochromis_sp_red.php

I found it particularly interesting because it chronicles the life of a fish at a LFS in Houston (most likely Ultimate). Just thought I would share....

If I ever get into cichlid. I believe this one be the one.
I love their coloring.

For about $5-700ea those Bulu points are amazing!!!


Alex has a breeding group of them and they are by far the most breath taking Petro I have ever seen.

Here's another link with pictures of other petros.

Re: Petrochromis

Your trying to get me into more trouble.
I already got several discus & a 180 saltwater & plan on putting up a 200 & now your getting me thinking about a $600.00 fish.  
My wife is an understanding woman but for this one I would have to pull a bunny out of a hat. Wait a minute that has been done already. Time to think of something new.

Re: Petrochromis

$600ea and they kill each other when not in a large group.

Tim,

That story is about Alex's store.  Some of the people in that story, I wish were still around in the Houston Area.

I am not sure if there will ever be fry availible in this fish.

Best of luck...
