My Astatotilapia burtoni

i found out a female was holding talk about young moms she is barely one inch :O click here for video

the male is awesome!

thanks he is like maybe 2 inches i cant wait till i cant some other fish in there so he is like that all the time this was at around midnight last night but i think he is still nervous in his new huge house he starting to look better

Good stuff D!!! Love em

Great looking male. Love how the black strip continues through the eye.

Nice looking fish D really starting to settle in and color up for you.

Nice video . I looked them up. They are cichlids from the rivers and swamps near lake Tanganyika, and also present in lake Kivu.

In general terms Astatotilapia can be found in waters from northern Lake Malawi to southern Lake Victoria.

great article http://www.africancichlids.net/articles/astatotilapia_burtoni/

I guess your fish are proving that article right!

"It is rather remarkable how young these haplochromines will reach sexual maturity. I have had 3 cm long females hold a brood to term."
