PETROCHROMIS:

The Petrochromis is the largest and considered most aggressive herbivores in lake Tangayika and are also found on every rocky shore. Their are numerous speceis of Petrochromis of which include Ephippium, Fasciolatus, Famula, Macrognathus, Orthognathus, Polyodon, and Sp. Red. Petrochromis are also mouthbrooders having sizeable broods of eggs. Petrochromis range in sizes from 6" to 15". They have larger lips than other algae eating species in the Lake and are lined with teeth that can move slightly to accomidate formations of the rocky surfaces for maximum food collection. Keeping these fish in captivity can be challenging. But with patience and attention on adusting their setup they can be kept as easily as any other african cichlid.

He is funny to watch when he gets going. He goes nuts and starts shaking and going crazy. Hope you enjoy the video.

Yeah I have a group of around 20 mixed WC and f1 polyodon chinga in with the Moshi. I also have around 8 macro green Nsumbu in with them also. All 3 groups get along good and spawn in the tank. The macros just started to spawn today actually. I got the male back a few weeks ago from my buddy. So far I have 2 Moshi females holding and they are ones that usually hold til term. He has around 20 more females to spawn so hes a busy male lol.

Yeah moshi are awesome when they are fired up. I just got done setting up my 400 gallon Cyprichromis Speckleback Moba tank over the weekend. I will try to get a video up of it when I get a chance if you want me to.
