I was playing around with some video yesterday and made a short clip of our Orthochromis stormsi.

Hello,

very nice video. Did you ever have the chance to see them span?
I also kept a pair, but the female died one day after she set the fries free.

Hello Oliver

I've been lucky to witness Orthochromis stormsi spawn multiple times. Very interesting. As you pointed out, the males can be very aggressive towards their mates as well as other tank inhabitants. I keep a trio now (two females and a male) in a 220l with some larger Lake Victoria cichlids.

Have you seen the photo's Dave Hansen took of a female O. stormsi and her clutch?
