Title: Turtleman's Tropheops Chilumba Mphanga
Post by: Super Turtleman on June 15, 2013, 11:43:01 AM

I'm gonna keep a little diary here to keep track of their growth from very young fry to adults and hopefully through breeding. I think it should be interesting. I'm hoping to take pics on a weekly basis with the occasional video as well. Starting out with 8 fish at approximately .5" in size. They are about 1 week old (post spit).

Looking forward to watching them grow & develop into a breeding group.

Here they are as of last night. I'm really looking forward to seeing some males start to color up. About an inch in size right now. Remember, I got these at less than 2 weeks old.

Well, I failed on keeping this updated. But here is a video of them in a 60G. I have two separate groups. The size difference gives them away a little. 1M 3F breeding quad and i added the 7 juvies I had been growing out. They're sharing their tank with 5 Multipunctatus.
