I saw this fish on aquabid and he calls it an ivory head hap but no scientific name. I thought the "ivory head haps" were copadichromis mloto undu. This doesn't look like it to me. Is it maybe a sp. Goldcrest? It looks nice, something I'd like to have one day.
-
Yeah not a ivory head but pretty cool looking.
-
There seems to be a lot of confusion when dealing with the Copadichromis genus & common names, especially when it comes to the different mlotos.
-
I have no idea what it is, but it's definitely a nice fish!
-
Is it the same dude that sells "Home made" fish for a butt load of money?
-
Yep saw that this morning too cool lookin fish . I am hoping to get my Copadachromis breeding some day soon ( Virginalis firecrest and midnight motlo)

are they a "species only tank" kind of fish? or will they do alright in a community?

I`m following the advice I read witch is to house them with calmer African like peacocks , I`m thinking also maybe to put them with some Cyprochromis I think it shoukd be a good match.

Almost all mlotos I've had I've had better luck keping them in species only. Midnights seem very timid and would always hide.

x2. Not a very robust hap IMO. Reminded me more of keeping peacocks.

I have Copadichromis Kawanga Makonde and you wouldn't know I had them unless I told you they were in the tank... Cool looking fish but not worth me stressing them out in order to show someone they are actually in the tank. I have to leave to room when I feed them or the just stay hidden.
-
heh, I had to move my "mloto likoma" to a species tank because they were terrorizing my Placidochromis phenochilus, my Protomelas spilonotus, and my Aulonocara stuartgranti chipoka in a 125, even tried 3 different males, all the same story. Guess my other guys despite being almost twice his size (except the Aulonocara) are pushovers.
-
Weird everytime I had those they would just die for no reason. Seem really sensitive so I gave up on Copadichromis trewavasae and went with the Kawanga.
-
That is weird, mine were pumping out fry so fast I had to pull the males out to another tank. I also have the kawanga, A little less feisty, but not as prolific so far.
-
Had one spawn but never lasted... I walked in the room to fast or something they prly spit... You get them from John and Betty?
-
I got them shipped from texas, before I knew about John and Betty.
-
Yeah they were the only other people I knew that had them around here. That's why I asked I wanted to know how good the ones they had looked. I might want more females.

My Copadichromis sp. "Mloto Fluorescent" (Green Face) just spawned three females mixed with a colony of 11 Ngara Flametail in a 125g.
