Comments:
The saulosi is a very popular Mbuna in the aquarium. It doesn't grow very large and both males and females possess amazing colors. They are both born yellow and only the males become blue when they get sexually mature. Carrying females can develop male coloration too, probably to look aggressive in order to scare off potential fry robbers or to claim a territory to safely release the fry.

Habitat: This is the primary location where the cichlid is found and is a generalization. This does not mean a fish cannot be found in other habitats.

Diet: Many cichlids specialize in eating one type of food; notwithstanding, some of these specialized feeders are flexible and can be opportunistic feeders.

Temperament: This describes the overall demeanor of a cichlid toward other tankmates that
are of a different species. Consider that there is variability in temperament due to various factors, including aquarium size, tankmates of similar appearance, stocking levels, and order of introduction.

Conspecific Temperament: This describes the overall demeanor of a cichlid toward other tank-
mates of the same species. Consider that there is variability in temperament due to such factors as aquarium size, stocking levels and order of introduction. There may even be some variability among individual specimens.

Maximum Size: This is in regards to total length (including the tail) of typical aquarium specimens.

Wild specimens may not attain this size, or may in fact grow larger than aquarium raised individuals due to various factors. Also consider that this is the typical maximum size and there are exceptional individuals that will exceed it.

Difficulty: This measure is a relative value, comparing a single species against all other cichlids.
This only accounts for maintanence in the aquarium and not breeding considerations.
1 = easy and forgiving, 5 = extremely challenging.

Yeap. im still on a chase of a male cuz i have 2 females and one is to small it can turn on to a male..

cool fish. i have some but none for sell. i also placed the source for your info in your post.

Oh ok, i didnt know we had to put the source on the library, but thanks!!

yeah really the library if for our members to make up thier own style / post this way we do not have to site it. it something is taken exactly from somewhere then we do.

good work either way!!!!

Ok, on my next post ill try to do it on my own but sometimes i have to get resource from google cuz i dont know everything about the fish.. but ill make it original as possible!!..

Very nice! I was just thinking of looking into these guys, we just got some in at boardroom!

Yeap those are the ones i just bought over there, the yellow ones i found out they all females, rich didnt have a male that day... which is blue.

I bred lots of those in the past. Until the Msobo became my favorite dimorphic fish. ask Kory if he has a spare male to sell you. He is breeding those too.

No mas I sold the group when they got bigger.

Yeah ill probably get some on boardrooms ac., of course right after i get im done with the ich on my tank..

I counted at least 3 males in the tank

Yeah the thing is that rich had a blue male in there just like the one on the pic, and he told me is not the same fish, i guess he didnt recognize it...

If its the tank that the convicts were in then yes those are saulosi, the albino guys in with them are hap ruby green. I was the one that moved them all out there so I know those are the only guys in that tank.
