Blue Dolphins & Mdoka White Lips

[...]

Mystery of the missing mdoka solved today...it was wedged deep into a crevice between 2 rocks I didn't think had enough room for a fish...musta been goin in head 1st after morsels of food and got stuck...sad as these are hard to come by and it was likely a female looking at the vent...4 left still so happy dayz...

I found this image of a crytocara moorii on google today...it was used by Ad Konings in 1 of his books...I am amazed at the resemblance to my alpha male...pretty happy to have such fine quality specimens in my care

Thanks Drew...not many really seem too interested in Malawi's in our member group as yet but I will keep the updates coming on the 2 species I have...
I really hope as I persevere with the mdokas that I will be able to produce some fry down the road. They can take up to 3 years to reach sexual maturity...bit like growing cypho juvies...patience patience patience waiting on the breeding action...

I hear ya and thank you!

Yes, Cypho fry is a very long wait. A good choice for someone that likes a Beautiful tank with no hassle of fry for the first few years.

Yea you bet...i was looking at titan blue's Lupota again yesterday...SO nice...gonna have to get some of them at some point...I saw lelupi in your vid but what other species of community tangs did you keep with your mobas over the years you had them?

[Mastiffman/ Duramax7Man7]

I really only kept Calvus and Lobochilotus with them. IIRC. I've seen Phenochilus with them that looks really good. Some have kept petros but not for long.

'Scuse my dimness but what does IIRC mean? 🤔

If I Recall Correctly.
