Cynotilapia afra (Cobue)
« on: March 13, 2013, 01:42:48 AM »
I've been looking for these for a while, finally had a chance to pick them up last fall. Right now I have breeding groups in two tanks, so there is no shortage of fry.

The males aren't usually at full color, these are pretty typical of their normal state. They'll really color up at feeding time and after water changes.
