Mikula Group Nyatzi

Hello everyone,

It has been a long time but here is an update from me (aka: Razzo)

Back in April, I started up a 2nd wild caught Cyphotilapia gibberosa Mikula tank (a 125 gallon tank) for the former/deposed Alpha from my 240 gallon WC Mikula tank (Nyatzi). Back in April, I picked an additional three trios + one more female from a contest win and sorted them between my two frontosa tanks. Here's a few recent pics from Mikula Group Nyatzi. Hope you like

Lastly, here are a few pics of Nyatzi

Thanks

Plans are:
1) Enjoy them and continue to photograph them.

History: those pics are from Mikula Group Nyatzi (125). I used proceeds from Mikula Group Tau (240) fry sales to invest/purchase the new wild fish and all the equipment for this 125. Demand for my Mikula fry is much greater than my supply; so, I am attempting to increase supply. Both of my alphas (Tau & Nyatzi) are very special. They were hand picked/cherry picked by my friend and long time importer from hundreds of pieces for his own personal all-star group.

Nyatzi took some battle wounds when Tau dethroned him as alpha in the 240 a year or so ago. Battle wounds not withstanding, Nyatzi is in a pretty rare class. I needed to pull him from the 240 and I really wanted to keep him producing fry bc he is still a young boy and an incredible specimen.

BTW: My friend had to retire for health reasons and he tipped me off that he needed to move his private collection. I jumped immediately at the opportunity.

So, more supply would be great; however, I treat fry as a bonus and try to enjoy my fish (fry or no fry). It's a hobby first (actually two hobbies if you include photography) and I try to keep it that way.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it

Cheers,
Russ

I've started using a different image hosting site recently for quality reasons. I only have newer images on the desired site and have not pulled my favorites of Tau over yet.

Here's a pic that I just pulled over to the new site (I'll start another thread on Tau's group once I pull some fav images over):

This is Tau, alpha in Mikula Group Tau (pic is from Fall 2013 - he has grown since and his trailers are longer).
