I was just wondering. After I

went too big I was not keeping the Victorians like I had in the past. I am trying to change that

again as I just stick to the hobby and breeding. Just wondering who is keeping them and what you

all have.

I only have a single male

thoracochromis. Anyone have a female?

I would be interested in getting some Chromogynos

if you ever can part with some.

I currently have:

Hap Ruby Green
Pund

Nye. Ruti Island
Hap sp Fire Uganda
Hap All Red
Thor. Brauschi ( male only )

I am going to get a few others next week, but I think I will take this slowly as I move

back into keeping and breeding them. I have a tendancy to go overboard and get too many fish.

Maybe I can find some this year in Atlanta.

Hey Kevin, nice list. I have

the calliptera as well. Mine started breeding about a month ago and I am hoping they help me with

my multipunctatus in the same tank, but I will have to wait and see. I only got 8 fry from the

first female that held.
