I bought seven wild caught B. nigrodorsalis. I kept them in a 40 gallon long tank. I had a hunch that two of them had paired up but it wasn't obvious at all. I didn't witness the breeding but I noticed a very small bulge in the females throat. Two days later I saw the fry...
I figured that I should stop hijacking African_Kongo's thread and start my own.
The picture is not the best, but they were under a piece of driftwood and there wasn't a lot of light.

The little newborns were out and about for a short period of time today. I wish they were where I could get a decent picture. I couldn't even get a count.

No, no vertical baring at all. I've spent a lot of time hoping to view the fry transfer with no success. The male spends more time holding than the female does, at least when I'm watching that is. Whomever is holding hides under a rock in the back corner of the tank. I've also noticed that...
I guess that time will tell. When I went to feed them, the little bulge was gone from the female and appeared in the male. The male didn't eat, but the female did. Hopefully, it's just not wishful thinking on my part.

I initially purchased six B. nigrodorsalis. Every one was very aggressive to every other one. But then it became obvious that a pair had formed. The two of them tolerated eachother, even when sharing the cave/space. At least for now, they are not showing any aggression toward eachother at...
Yes, I assumed as much. The nigrodorsalis and brauschi are two of my favorites. When they need better accomodations, I will either split the group into more than one 55 gallon tank, or set up a bigger tank. That's not a problem. (You're not saying I need more than a 55 with reduced numbers...
For whatever reason, there seems to be an influx of nice african riverines available around my town recently. But being somewhat new to them, I'd like a bit of info on compatability. I have a 46 gallon bowfront with 6 Benitochromis nigrodorsalis (2.5" TL) and a 55 gallon tank with 6...
My LFS is having a big sale and I went to see if they still had the fish labeled Chromidotilapia finleyi in stock. I found a very knowledgable employee and told him that I couldn't find this in Lamboj's book. He told me that it is really Benitochromis finleyi. Since this isn't commonly...
This site helped me last month with an ID and now I need more help. A friend (who is not local) is moving, and asked if I'd be interested in some of his fish. I was a bit disappointed with the physical condition of the overfed fin-nipped fish, but they were free and are now in a quarantine...
I've just returned from the Ohio Cichlid Association Extravaganza near Cleveland, Ohio. I was sold what was identified as a Pseudocrenilabrus philander by the breeder. (One of the room sales) I've been told by others that it looks more like a Pseudocrenilabrus multicolor victoriae and I must...
