A pair of fish I have I was told and were labled at my LFS as Gabalema Hap. " Orange Hunter "
Are infact a lot rarer than even those.
After some extensive searching I have found them to be.:-
Lipochromis sp. "Matumbi Hunter"
The Matumbi Hunter
They only have between 8 - 15 fry.
From what I have read I need to get an egg tumbler as the female won't hold her eggs for more than 3 days.
But it will be worth it for such a rare fish to the hobby. thumbs2:
If I can get them to breed any fry are worth between £10 & £15 each.
Adults sell at £35.
I didn't pay 1/2 that for them, I think I can call that a score thumbs2:
It is these fish.
