Thanks!

The camera is not very good (Olympus SP500UZ) and I am not a very good photographer.....just lucky I guess. I plan to upgrade to a full DSLR at some point, but for now I'll just settle for taking 100 pics to get maybe 2-3 good ones. Here's are some full tank shots: 125G 75G

Kinda got carried away with the the camera over the weekend... :lol:

Nope, the hormones temporarily show the fish's potential......what it could possibly look like. Sometimes they hormone the females enough that they are colored up like a mature male. In those cases, the fish would never regain the hormoned coloring. Hormones are just a way to make the fish look...

Wait... If they had that much color at 1.5", then your fish were most likely hormoned. The color lasts just long enough for you to see the fish and want to buy it.....then it fades away. It'll eventually come back, but it takes some time (and growth) to get them to color up again. Don't expect...

1. Check your water parameters. Hiding fish is normally an indication that something isn't right (holding females excluded) 2. If there isn't any traffic around the tank on a regular basis, the fish will get spooked when someone walks by. Are they hiding when someone approaches the tank or are...

Very nice Ps. Saulosi juvies in the 1.5-1.75" range. Parents are WCxF1. Father is pictured below. These are some beautiful fish with really nice barring. They have been raised on NLS Growth and Omega One Super Veggie Kelp Flakes. Price is 6 for $25 (local pickup in Suffolk County, NY). Other...

Moving the rocks while a female holding is not a big deal. At times I'll have 5-6 females holding at once, but only need to strip 2 or 3 of them. That means moving a lot if not all of the rocks. The remaining holding females aren't affected at all...

After 18-21 days, the fry should be developed enough to strip. Waiting 28 days will most likely result in the female spitting before then or becoming dangerously thin from a lack of food. I always strip in that 18 to 21 day period. Once you do this enough, you won't have to actually witness a...

Thanks, Rich.....hey are you planning on going to AFISH?

UPDATE! This tank has been recreated as a 75G Malawi tank. It is no longer a Saulosi species tank since I've added a few more species to the tank. A few pics that were taken about a month ago. Stock List 4 Labeotropheus Trewavase "West Thumbi Island" 4 Labidochromis sp. "Mbamba" 8...
