    Fossochromis Rostratus

    An uncommon fish, but for those who keep haps and are patient, it's well worth it. This 11" male has taken a good year and a half to get to this point. Not the best pics I know, best I could do with my phone.

    Great looking fish!!! The Metallic blues off the deep blacks certainly make it pop!

      They are very unique, to be sure. Thanks to Tran at Fish Ranch II for bringing them in a while back. The black on them really sets them apart.

        Great looking fish. how big was he when you got him?
        Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

            I've been thinking about getting some clown loaches how do they do with your malawi peacocks? Do they show any aggression towards them?

              I have kept clown loaches with Malawis for years. They do great together, as the Malawis completely ignore them. I have some clown loaches that are over 20 years old in that tank with those rostratus.

                    Based on diet needs and growth I don't know if it would be a good idea long term.
