Josh Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 I bred a double headed saulosi when I first started breeding them. Let it live, or at least get some photos for us first. I wouldnt euthanase it. Let it grow and see what happens. Yes it is a freak, but freaks are cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gingerbeer Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Line breed for them and you could be a fish made bilionaire. Gotta be worth more than a blood parrot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishdance Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 I have a friend overseas who consistently breeds 2 headed turtles! They seem to live a long happy life and are reasonably popular. I do have plenty of photos when I have the time to search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secondnatureaquariums Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 yeah I bred a two-headed mbuna once as well. I was going to raise it but as you noticed, they are weak and mine died. I've also had a double-tailed fish and a curled fish. The curled fish lasted ages, worked out how to feed and everything! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

debgrafish Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 here is a photo of one that i had in my last batch. It had 2 heads but shared a tail, by the time the egg sac had just about been consumed it could no longer stay upright and started to swim upside down.
