Title: My male Ps. williamsi north Makonde
Post by: Dan K on October 31, 2011, 09:46:54 PM: (http://i1111.photobucket.com/albums/h462/malawimix1/029.jpg)

Had a rough start with these guys.....ordered 5 but got six in the bag. One died on the way back across the state, another died the first week, 2 more casualties in the following few weeks. That left me with just 2 but they turned out to be a pair. Got 9 fry in the first batch and she's been holding a week now on her second round. Good thing the big boy doesn't get nasty with only one female!!!

Thanks for the fry. Will be keeping a little diary on them to keep track of their growth and such.

It was nice to meet you today. I hope the fry do well for you. I checked my records and I stripped them at 16 days on 10-23-11 so that will give you a starting point.
I'll get in touch when I have some of the Met. zebra gold Kawangas available. I've only got 15 right now ranging 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 weeks old.

Post by: gmaschke on June 21, 2012, 02:30:48 PM: I know this is an old post but the recent posts sparked new interest. That is an awesome looking male. I looked at some pics of others and they are more solid orange or yellow. I like the looks of your male the most. Kinda makes me want some. I may have to go on the hunt!

I agree, not often you see that.

Post by: Dan K on August 23, 2012, 08:30:28 PM: I believe he was between 3 and 4 inches.....probably closer to 3.
