I recently added two white labidos to the setup temporarily to grow out some. I will probably move them eventually. This is a 29 gallon setup that I have kept as a species setup for the Jalos for around 2 years now. I grew up the first group together in there from around the size of 1.5-2". Quite awhile ago I also got some new unrelated blood from a Old world order to mix into the group as well.





My #1 male, he has been dominant for around 2 years now maybe.. I love his fins from being dominant for so long.


#2 male that I got from the LFS when he put in a order from Old world. He is my favorite out of around a dozen males I've thinned out. His first bar near the gill plate is solid, a trait I want to work into the current strain. I like the current strains "cleaner" dorsal though.


A third male that was coloring up, probably #1's brother maybe. I gave him to a friend last week when I picked up a couple pounds of HBH graze he had ordered.

Awesome stuff! :tup:

I love those white labidos...did you get yours from the same place MattV got his?

....or are those from MattV?

whoa, check out the choppers on the last one..

Proof from VIP's own mouth that African Cichlids aren't pussies.... :woo:

They are from a guy here in Davenport, IA. I'm not sure where Matt got his, so...

this is the male parent to the group of juvies and fry I have.


I have a heck of a time picturing white and albino fish.

Yep, Afra tend to have mean sets of chompers. I've got quite of a few decent teefer shots over the past few years.
