Iulie 2012

Simochromis babaulti Zambia


Spurred by the popularity of wild-caught Tropheus, importers have begun requesting its cousins, members of the genus Simochromis. Here S. babaulti; adults have been collected, along with sister species, in Zambia.


Petrochromis  famula Katete


Specialty hobbyists that are fans of Petrochromis species have turned to P. famula variants. P. famula from Katete, Zambia, sports a yellowish dorsal fin and strongly contrasting bars when charged up. Photo by A. Konings.


Neolamprologus prochilus


An odd fish rarely encountered in any numbers in the lake, Neolamprologus prochilus is a smallish fish with a large trap-door mouth. While not especially colorful, the challenge would be to breed this miniature predator.
