This is the last group that I will be shipping this year. I will make up to six specimens available at only $11ea plus shipping. The offer is good throughout October 2012. Send PN if interested. Thanks.
Thanks guys. Wetspot is the place where I got my transvestitus from last time. High quality fish. I'll probably get me more from there, unless Slim tells me that he can get a male or pair.
For those of you who want to give this species a try -- I just put for sale up a group of no more than 6 fish on aquabid. The other six juvies that I have are already spoken for by a good friend of mine.
Here you go. The pictures of the parents don't do the species justice but are the best I could do last night. Male on top, female at bottom. I didn't touch the pictures up. Particularly the female the females shows intense vertical stripes in the tank.
I finally got my first spawn of Tilapia deckerti (former sp Little Black from Lake Ejagham) from fish given to me by forum member and Dutch hobbyist Joop Clement. I pulled a group of free swimmers not one second too early, because the parents were fighting a losing battle against their tank...
Thanks Jeff. I keep a trio in the tank plus a coupe of Nanochromis parilus as dithers. I leraned my first esson today: pulling the fre swimmers at a young age is a stupid thing to do. The three that I pulled were dead tjis morning, while the one that escaped was happily swimiming alongside mom...
I spotted a tiny group of free-swimming F1 robertsi in a 40G breeder tank a couple of days ago. The next day the group was down to four and I decided to isolate them. When trying to isolate them, I lost track of one but caught three. This is a rare species and I'd like to raise as many as...
Thanks. Another dozen of them is spoken for, but I have plenty more available. Let me know if you are interested. They ship very well at a size of 1/4", and I will need to grow the second batch that I got for a couple of weeks. The ssking price is only $5ea plus shipping, if you order fish for...
I managed to free up tank space for a group of Hemichromis cerasogaster and a Nanochromis/Congochromis species other than parilus, teugelsi, and sabinae. Please send a PM or post a reply.
Jeff,
This is what Oliver had to say about the colection site: "The fish are collected somewhere along the way from Kinshasa to Mbandaka, 2 hrs upstream from the big saw mill." Before hearing back from Oliver regarding the collection site, i heard from Anton. He is leaning toward teugelsit, but...
Lonny,
I kept and bred ruweti for a while before passing them on to Troy Veltrop. Great-looking fish, but "lousy parents"is an understatement. I always had to pull the eggs and hatch them in a tumbler.

Jeff,
I believe that Anton is vacationing the first half of this month, and we'll have to wait a few more days to get his opinion. He once told me that he used to keep splendens, if I recall correctly. I work with the German version of Anton's book, which unfortunately has only a picture of the...
Jeff,
Let's hope not. The fish look very different than my teugelsi. Plenty of orange an yellow coloration. They trace back to Oliver lucanus and I have confidence in the guy. I'll email the images to Anton to find out what he thinks.

I finally got the replacement fish for the Nanochromis that were mislabeled as "splendens" last fall. This time it could be the real thing. What do you think?
