Mixed Malawi

Very generic fish...but my options are limited out here in the boonies. I'm looking forward to stocking a 125 gallon tank very soon! Enjoy a few shots of my fish past and present.

*sorry I thought I got this into the photos topic... Any chance a mod could move it?

Great fish. Love the empress . The color of the male is stunning.

Thanks! The Empress are my favorite! The male just has the most amazing colors and the females add a nice silver shine to the tank.

I love the generic fish. I have lots of them too.

Your venustus is a nice-looking one. I like the empress too! Nice selection of fish for the boonies.

Nuthin generic there, just some great lookin fishies!!!

Great shots as well.

WOW! Very nice fish! love the emp and the ven!!!

Great looking fish. At least it looks like you have good quality fish even though selection is limited.

love the bumblee bee and the lab is sweeet and the ventrues is sweet to

Here is the current adult tank... 75 gallon mixed Malawi.

(dont mind the cardboard hood... In the process of building a real one!








And the 30 gallon planted/fry/grow-out/feeder tank...

Nice tanks Emma (& Scott)

I'm in agreement with everyone !! I don't see any generic fish here !

Tanks are looking good, Emma. Is that an anubius in the center of the planted tank? It looks great.

Very nice Emma, my female empress has amazing colors for a female.

Sweet! Your N. venustus is a stunner . But it looks like he is outgrowing the tank soon.

Yes its an Anubius, when I got it only had 2 leaves now it sprouts a new one about ever 3 to 4 weeks. It looks like it might want to flower? Its not a leaf... or its trying a new way of leafing out. lol

I really like the red empress, both male and female.

Yeah I had to take Ven. out, he killed my Red Empress male. I'm still waiting on my 125 tank to cycle so I can get some more fish.

Got a few fish today here are some pictures;

Melanochromis Auratus, here are the two girls the male was a little camera shy.


And three red zebras... couldnt get a picture of the three of them.

Guess he got over being camera shy, not the best picture but it will do for now.

Male Auratus

He looks like trouble , but I love auratus. I've had them since my first tank and still have two males.

So far so good we will see what time will bring. As of now the Socolofi is tank boss, but the Auratus has a way to go before he is full grown.

Love the Melanochromis Auratus. I´ve had them several times over the years. One of the toughest mbuna I think. A cichlid that does´nt work at all with other horizontal stripped mbuna. I learned that the hard way the first time I had them, but it´s an old favorite that I will keep again for sure.

Pulled the camera out this morning and thought I would share some of the better ones.

nice i like the yellow lab on and it looks like the fish in pic six might have a small mouth full

Yup Red Empress is holding again... dont have a place for the fry so we will see what happens in the big tank. If she is getting to harassed I will strip her.

Nice. I like that last shot of the auratus chowing down!
