    Pelvicachromis Taeniatus Lobe and Moliwe

    I'm currently keeping a pair of the Lobe form. Frankly, I see little, or no, difference in coloration and pattern between the Lobe and Moliwe, particularly the females. It will be appreciated If someone can send me good comparative pics of both and a description of the differences. Thanks.

    Egg-bound P. Taeniatus

    I have a Moliwe female that appears to be severely egg-bound. I'm sure it's not Dropsy as her color is good and she is still eating. Of course she is swimming clumsily, more like a waddle given her size I guess. I surfed the web and the major recommendation is to use Epsom salts. The method...

    Water parameters for Pelvicachromis taeniatus questions

    1. Everything I've read so far about taeniatus indicates they prefer soft, acidic water. However, a book that I have by Ulrich Schliewen states: "the Moliwe and Muyuka color forms, unlike the others, dislike acid water values." I live in the Austin, TX metro area, and the water here is...
