I just got six of them, juveniles about 1". They are eating well
although timid still. Anyone has had experience with these fish? They
seem hardy fellows and I'd like to see them breed and mouthbrood the eggs.

cheers

Which livingstonii? There are two in Lake Malawi.

I was breeding both of them in the 70's. They are both easy to breed
but the Maylandia livingstonii can be aggressive. Nimbochromis
livingstonii is quite peaceful.

The way Nimbochromis grow, you'll need a good size tank, and deep pockets
to keep them fed ;~).  Very hardy fish.

Good to know they are hardy. They grow up to about 10", I know.
