Altolamprologus calvus Black Zambian

Here's some crappy pic's of my wild caught Black calvus.






This is their home. Tank is a 40 long, divided to 3 feet long for the breeding chamber and 10 inches long for the fry chamber. (See my Hamburg Mattenfilter DIY ) Filtration is the Mattenfilter along with a Penguin 330 HOB.




I bought a trio of these guys, it wasn't working out between the 2 females so 1 has been removed and is currently hanging out with my Cyphotilapia gibberosa Moba juvies.

very nice they are good looking

Very nice fish. I am starting to kick myself for passing up the chance to buy a pair after seeing yours.

Nice looking fish. I have just bought a Pair of Wild caught Calvus yesterday. The female is still hiding but the male has been out but isnt feeding yet. They are beautiful looking fish and I am really excited having them. They are housed in a 48" tank with 3 Juli Regani and a nice shoal of Leptosoma.

That's awesome Timbo!!! You'll love these guys, might take em a while to get comfortable in your tank but having tankmates should speed up the process. As you probably know it's not uncommon for these guys to hide out for up to 2 weeks before starting to lighten up to thier new surroundings. I'll be looking forward to seeing some pics

And, WELCOME TO THE FORUM!!!!

Thankyou for the welcome. Yes once they settle down I will share some pics with you. Great to be on this site. Regards from Wales, UK

yes you will love them, i may pick some up after his grow out some and welcome aboard

updated pic

yyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaa

and another...

nice does he move around much?

nice shot, looks like you're getting that new cam figured out

Thanks guys, those pics were taken at the same time last night but the pic of the comp was this morning so I managed one more good shot out of it. I'll keep working on it

next time you sit down to take pics aim to take as many as you can dont look at them and judge them on the lil lcd screen just take more and more and get to know the camera before you judge them on the lil screen

couple more...

They are getting better and better.

pictures are getting better bro.

wow not bad man

very nice fish love the teeth

Wow his black in this picture is really deep. Does he change or is the camera man just getting better at catching his color?

First of all... SHE would be pretty upset if she could read...

She shows the best color out of the trio that I've got. I recently moved her back in with the male, moved the other female out. Hoping they will spawn one of these days.

Thanks guys

The colors were so intense I just assumed it to be a male, tell her I am sorry lol.

couple new shots
