Pseudotropheus Demasoni 'Pombo Rocks' Territorial Male 1080 HD 

I guess I finally found something I'm good at, lol. Thanks for the compliments and sharing the vid Darius!

A very vivid and unforgettable cichlid. Thanks cristi

Glad you thought so. Thanks for watching Mike.

Thanks a lot Don.

They are tough. Almost too tough. Thanks for watching Chris!

I've been waiting for the big meltdown, but things have been great so far. I think my high numbers are one of the keys with this fish.

Sorry for the late reply. Gong show, LOL Load up on them. You'll need an extra tank to remove outcasts as they'll either die or get sick with bloat and infect the tank. Go heavy on the rockwork and line of sight breaks. Research bloat and be ready to identify symptoms to catch it early on if you happen to run into it.

+inventoryking They are certainly eye catching. And a handful. Good luck with your group.

AJK Aquaria -- Thanks, a handful is right

Thanks NYC. Found these from a local breeder and lucked out on a really nice group.

Thanks Ricky. I just checked. There are 9 possibly 10 holding Demasoni. They are very prolific. I have not stripped any but I may concentrate on these rather than P. Saulosi in the coming year.

They have great coloration! I am sure you would be able to sell a ton of these!

Thanks. You'd think so but i have some difficulties selling mbuna quickly.

@@AJKAquaria definitely lol. in the space of about 5 months i have about 25 fry that survived all by themselves

Indeed! Thanks for sharing it dude

No, I had other species with them. They tend to quarrel with their own kind. To be safe, avoid other barred species.

AJK Aquaria Do you recommend keeping a large group of demasoni to cut down on conspecific aggression?

Absolutely. Start with at least 20. More, if you have the tank space. It can be a big investment, initially. If you only buy a handful, you'll likely end up with 1.

yellow labs are a decent tankmate from my experience.

Yea Malawi fish don't fare too well in pairs, especially Dems. They are very peculiar in their actions; totally agree with you. Thanks for the compliment on the young lad.

For sure. Conspecific aggression is typically the issue, unless you stock your tank with '2 of these, 1 of those, 3 of these.'
