Are zebra mbuna africans???

Yeah, they are. Mom is doing better, eating a little. She certainly seems much more relaxed.

Congrats! The arrival of fry is definately interesting and intriguing.
I've found mbuna in particular to be breeding machines. At any given time there's 1 to 3 holding females in my tank.
