So, i know this isnt the best thing to do... whatever.

my sister took a trip to the local wally world. She has been asking for WEEKS what type of fish she can put in my tank.
i told her i am looking for only aulonocara's and yellow labs.. well... now i have 10 yellow labs... and an Orange guy.



so now my 2 species tank is quickly becoming an assorted tank ... GRRRRRR!


anyways, here is a picture of the little guy, im sorry its blurry but it wont quit moving.

10x Yellow Lab
1x Venustus
1x Kenyi
1x Transcriptus
6x Aulonocara
2x Acei

lol..... sounds like you fell in love with lake mallawii fishes in general.... well good choice.. it seems to be the most popular african cichlid tanks around... I heard demasoni are super vicious lil' guys, I know a couple breeders on here... larry, and betty... They actually have allot of the species you named and I would consider them as close to experts on mallawii as they come... both are pretty modest though.

Let me know if you come up with any questions, Danny. I breed a number Pseudotropheus, including Acei and Demasoni, along with a number of other mbuna.

Funny. Im actually dating a girl for paulsbo, its such a drive i hardly get to see her.

the only question i have is...


When will you have some for sale? how much? and when can i purchase them?


i want a few more acei's i only have 2, id like maybe 3 more.
i could go for a for sure male venustus, and a female aswell.
interested in a few dems aswell, maybe a male, and 2-3 females.

or honestly whatever suggestions you have.
they need to get along with yellow labs and peacocks.

Thanks for the kind words sand.

I'm gonna get you into that dem tank one of these days. :lol:

Gotta say, these are still probably my favorite mbuna to just sit and watch. A tank filled with lace rock and stocked heavy with these guys is a blast.
