Absolutely beautiful!!

Re: My Cyphotilapia Gibberosa colonies

Thanks for the nice comments.


No mpimbwe fry yet.  I have too many males and not enough females in my colony.  That is why I'm trying to sale some males.  That way I can buy more females.

Wow! Excellent pics and beautiful fish.

Dan told me about your loss. I was sorry to hear about that. But you still have a very nice size colony.

Yea, that sucked to lose my alpha so soon after buying them.   I don't know what happened to cause him to die.  Luckily my beta stepped up to the new alpha role and is keeping everyone in line.  He actually damaged his eye chasing the others around the tank.  I'm currently treating with melafix and epsom salt to keep him from losing his eye.  I'm just having horrible luck with this new colony.

oh man that is terrible, hope his  
eye gets better.

Re: My Cyphotilapia Gibberosa colonies

I used melafix with aquarium salt and epsom when I had an eye problem in my tank and it worked great.

Hope it works out for you and hope they start producing again.
