Fascinating & inspiring to watch your process of rebuilding the lines - continuously recovering from that terrible winter storm.

It is taking a while to recover. Now if we can just avoid a hurricane this year. We are watching at this time a potential hurricane out in the Atlantic. Charles

It is a pretty fish. We're working on improving the nuchal hump. Charles

A very nice fish but not quite what I'm looking for in a Blue OB Dolphin. I'm hoping one of his sons is what I'm looking for. Charles

Your obs have such nice colorations. All of them are so different in their own way

Sorry for the tardy reply. I like selecting for different colors and patterns and OB Peacock offer so much variation to choose from. Charles

Sorry for the tardy reply. We just started working on the Variatus again. I'll take time to video some. We've been remiss at making videos. Charles

Is it unsexed when I order 2-3 inch from you guys? Just asking because I’m considering getting a couple OBs

@goliadfarms7029 9 ай бұрын

Sorry for the tardy reply. Yes, our 2-3" African cichlids are only about 3 months old and not usually sexable. Charles

@benjaminmorley1007 Жыл бұрын

Do the OB Dolphins have the nice community tank nature that dolphin cichlids have? Or are they mean and aggressive like the OB Peacock cichlids?

@goliadfarms7029 Жыл бұрын

A good question that is hard for me to answer since I don't find Peacocks to be that aggressive. But all Lake Malawi cichlids are less aggressive when crowded, which I recommend. Crowding dramatically reduces aggression. Dominant males can't set up and defend a breeding territory, and they tend to side with subordinate males in their disputes with other males. No single fish gets picked on all the time. Charles
