I cant tell that they have grown any.  We are feeding them 2-3 times a day.

They look good but Compressiceps do take like 320 years to grow to adult size.

Yea, we knew this... which is why I am surprised we got them.  We are both so impatient with fish growth/coloration.

All together in the tanks, we have 21 of them!  What were we thinking!

11 Altolamprologus Gold Face Muzi Conpressiceps
7 Altolamprologus compressiceps Malasa
1 Black Ink Fin
1 White
1 Fire Fin

The Fire Fin is the largest at about 2 inches.

I never posted more pictures...

Wow!  They have actually grown!!


Looks to be about 50-50 male to female.  The females are always a dull color, where the males will change from real dark to real yellow day to day.

The one real dark male will flare his gills all the time and really show off.  Real cool to watch.

Beautiful Ken. I'd love to set up a tank for those one of these days.
