                      i see where you are coming from
                      I don't think you do. I really don't know that much about African fish. But If I really want to know I can look it up.
                      Thanks.

                        The group that I got my colony from was imported from Germany. I guess Sweden is where these fish were first line-bred to create certain desired traits. I notice that the coloration on my dominant male is more intense and brighter compared to a regular Lab Hongi. They are also smaller in size compared to their original ancestors.

                        Here is what I found on the origin of these fish, but to answer your question they originated from Lake Malawi.

                        Labidochromis in Latin meansLabido = pincer + chromis = colored. At this point in time this species is not yet described; therefore it is given the name of its location “Hongi”, which is taken from its name sake Hongi Island. Synonymous names include “Red Top Kimpuma”, “Hongi – Red Top”, and “Hongi Super Red Top”.

                        Labidochromis sp. “Hongi” naturally occurs on the east coast of Lake Malawi in the Tanzanian zone. The population has been sited as far North as Liuli and as far South as Undu Reef. The populations found at Hongi and Lundo Islands being the most attractive. Males are observed to be territorial. The feeding habits of this fish suggest it is a herbivore

                            Like any Mbuna, they are aggressive conspecific. They are in a tank by themselves.

                              Just got home and found 1 lady holding. I have been stripped them so far at 14 days. Thinking of adding a lot more rocks for hiding places and let nature take it course.
