Well the f/males I have a r good ones second generation
form a wild batch I got off a friend
 And he says if you want a good fish you got to start with the best lol
Ya any way why are they so hard to breed ?
Because I only got the 1 female big enough to breed and the other 2 are only 4cms long, all most there
Next time i have a tank all set up for them when its time so it will be in to the new tank and in 2 week I will strip them out and that should be a good start
I will let u know how I'm going

Sorry guys.girls,
If my reply was not so clear or I sounded smart. I had just re read an  article by ad konings in the Jan edition of Cichlid News. Where various colour distinctions and behavior of "Elect Blues". Are specific to regions of the lake,...and find it hard to understand the quality issue.. Given the wide spread dist throught the lake.. Anyway Nikki has reminded me not to respond to posts after to many beers   :!:

Can't speak for everyone else but my gripe with poor quality comes down to bad breeding.  People who either don't know or care that  the fish they are breeding with have some genetic fault whether it be poor colour, twisted jaws or whatever and just keep on breeding with these fish then when the old ones tire a bit what do they keep to replace them.  There fry of course.
Cheers Linda
