[kiriyama]

Hi, the Altolamprologus compressiceps "shell" Sumbu have spawned, I found fry last night in the shell, got them in a box net today, have some pics. , will post up tommorrow morning.
Very pleased as have found some Multifasciatus fry and the was Caudopunctatus fry the other day but has since gone (think the Sumbu munched it)...... fingers crossed for more

Cheers, Sean

In the small tank I have what I believe to be 1M/2F , they fry are in the fry bix/net. There was some juvenile Cyprichromis in the tank with them, I will put a couple of the smaller Cyps back in with them as they are great dithers and inspire cinfidence in the very shy Sumbu, I have had spawns in the past but this is the first with this small "group" and set up...

Cheers, Sean

P.S.
I will be doing a complete "makeover" on the Roma 240 over the next few days and bringing in some new Tangs , so have 4 adult and 2 juvenile Sumbu along with a 3 or 4 adult caudopunctatus I will need to move on
