Those are some of my favorite Africans! I just wish they got to about 10-12"

Thanks for sharing the video! Fish look great!

Looks nice. These guys are the champs of slow growing but are still some of my favorite.

I got them after seeing an adult black calvus come out of a rock pile at a local breeders.... From head on it looked like it had baby mako shark teeth. I've been hooked ever since. Still need to find a black one so if anyone is selling/ trading some, let me know.

Tom, your pic in the contest was awesome.

I like them as well -- nice. Do they all get along?

I have a trio of white calvus. It took a long for them to mature enough to spawn.

 

[lloyd378]

Mine get along, as they each have their own rock dwellings to live in.... The four young gold head comps always swim together in a school like formation. They are all siblings

Cool video, was wondering how big is the tank and are there any other fish in the tank. I have 4 white and 2 comps. Super cool fish although they grow super slow. I am also looking for some black ones to add to my collection.

 

[lloyd378]

The white would be sweet too. Where are yours from?

 

[L190]

I got mine from fish emporium, I traded in a whole bunch of bristlenose Plecos for store credit and use that to buy them. I saw some cool black ones at midway but I don't have a open quarantine tank.

 

[lloyd378]

Any pics of your blacks?

 

[L190]

I don't have blacks at this time

 

[lloyd378]

Sorry I meant your whites... Haha

 

[L190]

Not right now but i'll post some up when I get a chance to

Wish I had known you were interested in (white) calvus. I gave away my fry. My adults came from a group buy at Reserve Stock Cichlids back when sandnuka was active here; it's been a while!

 

[Bob]

Do you still get fry? If so i would be very interested in some.

 

[Betty]

Occasionally, but I don't usually save them. They are slow growers and there was no interest in them.

 

[lloyd378]

There is interest!!!!! I think even madness wants some haha

 

[Betty]

Haha. I gave a few survivors from my first spawn to Madness. :spoton:
