Rastinger62 Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 I've had 2 mouthfuls now but swallowed but it's a start. 33 fish were sexed and I've been a bit unlucky with only getting 8-12 females. Sold that excess males off very quick. There a popular fish but yes slow growing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donny Brasco Posted May 6, 2015 Author Share Posted May 6, 2015 might have to check out this rayonne, its a bit of a drive for me living in pakenham but i would much prefer to buy locally, its going to cost me over $250 to get them from kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rastinger62 Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 The colony alone was worth the price and you could of made some of your cash back with the fry if you didn't need them. I ended up grabbing them and was still surprised they were for sale. He is a nice male. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donny Brasco Posted May 12, 2015 Author Share Posted May 12, 2015 well i did tell him that i will take them along with a bunch of other fry he had but he stopped replying to my messages to arrange freight im guessing because he had already sold to you hahaha.All good he looks awesome very jealous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rastinger62 Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Ok no worries. I just went off your last comment saying it was too dear to get shipped so I asked about them. Did you end up getting any locally ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoody Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 rayonne had them for $39 each at 3-3.5cm :s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donny Brasco Posted May 13, 2015 Author Share Posted May 13, 2015 na its all good Rastinger, im sure more will pop up eventually.I havent found any locally yet but im yet to trek it over to rayone as its a good few hour trip and i run a business 6 days a week and have 5 kids so my one day off i would rather spend with my kids rather than traveling 3 hour round trip, but ill get there eventually hahah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuckmeister Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Pheno's have always been one of my favorite fish. They take a long time to look awesome but when they do they are hard to beat imo. I've found them to be finicky breeders but good luck in your search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Link2Hell Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 like most things in this hobby they come, they go and if your luckysomeone still has them and breeds themnot everyone likes to keep the same fish for years, people cut backdue to economics, people that were the main suppliers to the hobbyleave and sell upI could most likely name at least 10 species that are gone or out of thefashionable cycle of favourites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yabbie Dabbie Do Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Couldn't sell all the babies, changed things up got into tangs. I had them start breeding at about 14 - 18 months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donny Brasco Posted May 17, 2015 Author Share Posted May 17, 2015 Barnesy (devon from barnesys cichlid haven) has come through with the goods for me once again and located a couple of small males for me.Didnt get a chance to pick them up this weekend cause was my boys birthday but will go get them next weekend.I might still get a couple of females from rayonne yet but just going to need time to get over that side, or try get a courier to get them for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
