if you have no luck searching for info on them ( i had a google but found nothing) just try and find what river or lake system they are from as I ''think'' dont quote me on this, that the mokobe is a river?I may be wrong or is it a country, im not sure.<
>but if you can find out where they are from with regard to location maybe you could use the information given for another species of fish from the same location and use that as a starting point to get correct water parameters etc<
>most fish are pretty adaptable from my understanding<
>otherwise pick the
ains of someone that has kept em before<
>good luck   Cheers<

These fish need specific requirements to
eed, a bucket of water with an airstone is sufficient, no @#%$ I had them
eed in a plastic tub I was holding them in for a few days whilst their tank was being repaired, unreal! <
