Tanganyikan Fish Uncommon in the Hobby
« on: August 15, 2013, 01:15:42 PM »
Seeing the other topic on rare Malawian fish, I thought it'd be a good idea to check on who's got those really uncommon Tangs out there.  I know from his postings that Josh Cunningham has some but I'm sure a few others do, too.

I'm currently raising the following:  Cyathopharynx foai Halembe green, Ophthalmotilapia ventralis Chituta, Ophthalmotilapia nasuta Kipili gold (all featherfins); Enantiopus kilesa, Xenotilapia papilio Tembwe II, Benthochromis trictoti.

I'm interested in finding the following:  Cyprichromis microlepidotus Kipili black; Cyprichromis leptosome Moba speckleback, Xenotilapia flavipinnis Kekese royal red.

What unusual Tangs do others have?

I have the following:

Cyathopharynx foai kakchese
Orange Cap Ventrails
E.  Kilesa
Xenotilapia sp. "Ochrogenys Ndole"
Cyp micro bulu points

One that isn't so common, Neolamp niger.  These fish went for over $220 for the first bag at the OCA Extravaganza last year and over $80 for the second bag.

Also have a couple different species of Callochromis, black occies, gold occies, and other shellies.

Looking for ornatipinnis and cyp sp. Black bee.

^ x2. There was either a trio or a reverse trio that came through a MCA auction a couple years ago and didn't really well on pricing as well (somewhere between those two OCA prices).

After I get my gibberosa group settled in and hopefully breeding I am going to look at getting some trophs. Not sure what kind though. I like a lot of color.

 Not sure if you are into Tropheus but I Brought in some WC Bulu Point (not real Common as this nice!), WC Red Rainbow (Kind of Common), WC Duboisi (Common but most are not consistent and as Vibrant as the ones that I Brought in) and a more Rare and really Nice Looking Brichardi Species... Tropheus Brichardi Kalemie... They're still settling in but you can check my Youtube Channel, Crazy77iii for Videos of everything that I have.

 EDIT: I forgot to add that I have a Colony of WC Petrochromis Trewavesae as well that have started to Spawn! Also on my YT Channel
