Beautiful African Cichlids! What size tank and is this just a male only show tank or are you going to introduce females too?
That is a great idea, as a past breeder of Africans (mostly mbuna), a LFS is more likely to take your juvies in for store credit if they are full blood. I got to the point where my African breeding was getting me enough store credit in the area that I was virtually running my tanks for free, minus the hours of labor it tookIt is a 125 gal. This is my show tank. I will begin to introduce females in different tanks. I don't want to deal with or create hybrids and want keep the strains as strong as possible with what I currently have. The guy I get them from is awesome and he has females available when I am ready.
I have a few other peacocks in the tank and a star sapphire hap juvenile that I rescued who has a deformed tail fin. We call him nemo.

Can't wait to see more pictures and possibly your breeding tank too when you get to that point [emoji41]
