Who' s got Westies?

[AlishanAS]

Anyone out there keeping West African cichlids?

My list includes Pelvicachromis signatus, P. roloffi, P. subocellatus matadi and Anomalochromis thomasi

[Shawnc]

I have 6 different West Africans at the moment but have kept over 2 dozen over the years if you count all of the various p.taeniatus varieties.

Currently I have Wild Pelvicachromis Pulcher (was Kribensis), Nanochromis Nudiceps, Pelvicachromis taeniatus "Moliwe", Pelvicachromis taeniatus "Lokundje", Pelvicachromis taeniatus "Nyete", and Anomalochromis thomasi

[Randall]

Hi Mullet, that's an impressive list and photos for sure! Where ever did you get Divandu albimarginatus?

Thanks!

Randall

Hey Randall welcome aboard! We can use your expertise in this section!

[Mullet]

I got them from Anton last year

[fischfan13]

Randall, GREAT to see you hear!

[AlishanAS]

I got them from Anton last year

Dave,

If you have the time ask Anton to look over the site. Let him know Randall is on board.

Thanks.

[mk_ultra]

You're just showing off :)

Randall, the divandu have proven to be quite an investment in time. After a year of growing out, the females (?) are still only about 1.5-1.75". Evidently, Anton isn't surprised. He told Dave to expect 2 years before breeding activity:sigh:
My pics don't rate in the same ballpark as Dave's but just to give you an idea of how small the females(?) are compared to the males(?) [(?)'s because uncertainty still exists LOL]

Great list Nebraska!

[Heyguy74]

I just picked up a pair of nanochromis transvestitus.

[toddnbecka]

I just received 2m/3f P. nicholsi last week (thanks Mark and Julie.) The males are starting to show some good color, should get better as they grow a bit more.

[Tim]

I've got some wild caught:
P. humilis

http://www.fishaholics.org/tim/pelvicachromis.jpg

and
N. parilus

http://www.fishaholics.org/tim/nanochromis.jpg

Still acclimating. I'm hoping to get some pairs and breeding action.
Tim

[AlishanAS]

What strain of humilis Tim?
I spawned the fria variant. Once. Then the male divorced the female, cichlid style.:deadd:

I'm working with P. subocellatus and P. signatus now.

[Tim]

The N. parilus are the "Congo" strain.
The P. humilis are "multi spot" from Kolente. It appears I have three males and two females.
Tim

[Longstocking]

So this is what you have been up to Tim ;)

I really like both of those fish...

[Just Prince]

I have one pair of P. taeniatus Nigerian red that don't want to make more kin folk. I also have 5 Hemichromis Guttatus. One pair loves having babies.

[Rumple]

Here are some of the Westies I have...

Steatocranus casuarius
Pelvicachromis taeniatus moliwe
a lone female Pelvicachromis taeniatus Lobe ( she is gorgeous but lonely)
Konia Eisentrauti
Tilapia joka
pelmatochromis buettikoferi
