yup agreed. Keeping the Burundi around to make up the numbers so that they will be less fighting at first.

Price of a Moba has now exceed an Xback!
So have to built up the colony slowly to ease the pain.

C328 ones are more like mblue or Burundi. Bought some few years ago at 2-3 cm. didn't turn out nice.

When I mixed with others , the moba are actually less stable , being bullied by others (mpimbwe, samazi, Burundi ....) .
Moba looks much stable and relax after I moved all the others .
The fish it self is not too expensive but the shipment cost and handling fees is no joke ...

Watch out your water hardness as they are wc...
I kept mine at ph 9.0 GH 16-20 KH 12-15

My Moba are much larger than the Burundi so I guess the bullying is no issue.
My water cannot be too hard as it is comming with aros. In fact the pH is 6.6 now. Still eating well.
