Re: Petrochromis Famula Chimba

I'm wondering how the rest of the colony will treat the spit fry.  My tropheus love them some babies to eat.

[peterp63]

Got fry... maybe around 15-20 all over the tank. I put in a bunch of river rock in piles so they could hide from the adults and I think it's working. Still have 6-7 females holding BIG. These guys sure hold their babies for a long time.... the fry are pretty big and pretty darn cute.

I left the rock work how it was from the beginning... 4 or 5 males holding territory and each female is constantly breeding with the different males. Things are looking good so far!! Males are colored up very nicely all of the time. Love it!!!

Congrats!

The person that got the Famulas from me is letting go of them... but multiple people are lined up for them already.

[peterp63]

Dangit!! Did he/she ever get any fry out of them?

[eklikewhoa]

Few holds but nothing after that... there's only a quad and they are in with Trophs.

Peter I knew it man. I told you it would not take long. They were just starting to do that when I sold them to you. Just awesome man...Congratualtions on the fry.

Do you got any pics of the babies?

I'll never forget when I got those 21 dudes from John. They were so cute!

[peterp63]

No pics yet. I just noticed them swimming around the rocks like little fleas. They really are cool looking. I'll get some pics when I get a chance. I'm on a 40+ day turnaround right now... you know how that goes.

Quoc, you'll have to PM me the guy's contact info. It is very important that we get this family back together!!!! :)
