Close to 200 fry, the tough part is getting them past a 1/4 inch. once they get that big or a couple weeks old they are pretty tough.

just found another group in a cave, so 57 more fry.

nice... i have to say, i am impress... its not very easy to breed calvus... i tried before, i had successfully spawned some fry but 60% of them didn't made it and after a while i lost all of them. >_>

congrats by the way... calvus still one of my favorite...^_^

Fry are growing and getting quite active, eating like little pigs.

Nice Bassetman....how exciting to have so many baby Calvus. Good luck with the grow out. Keep us informed.

What did you do with all of them? How dark did they get? Interested in starting a colony of Calvus and the Black Congos Look real nice. Just moved and am starting all over. Nothing in the Portland/Vancouver area.

I know this is an older post, but I thought you( Bassetman) only did the sa/ca cichlids .... Do you still do the African cichlids too?

Good question.... this was from January and there has been a lot of changes by Bassetman since then.

Calvus are pretty cool however.

I do believe that he is still raising those amazing Calvas. Best thing to do Shipclnr is p.m. Bassetman, you may get a response much quicker.

Anyone heard from bassetman lately? I sent him a pm yesterday about possibly getting some clavus fry if he still has some. I know this is an almost year old post and long shot though. I wasn't expecting a msg right away, just wondering if anyone keeps in touch with him.
