    Here are some videos that you might like after watching this one. With these 3 videos, I've almost covered all of the cichlids from Lake Malawi. All that's missing are the Predators!
    Anybody interested in a predator video?

    A LFS just happened to get some gold ocellatus in the other day... I grabbed them up QUICK!. They are in quarantine at the moment with 10 rainbows twice their size - and they are bossing them around! Soon to be moved to a 40 breeder (150l) filled with shells. Thanks for helping me try my first East Africans!

      @QuebecCichlides  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for watching. Good idea grabbing them quick! You never know when they will be able to get some next.
      Lamprologus ocellatus are little devils. I've seen them fight with haps (it was an adult placidochromis johnstoni). He would get gobbled up but fight on. I eventually separated him, to give the Hap a break!
      They will love your 40 gallon shell dweller paradise :D
