Ducksta Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 I know I wont regret the purchase, unless I get them home, and due to inadequate tank arrangements they all get whooped... Hmmm I do have a day off tomorrow, and tomorrow is payday... I wonder if Nigel will be home... See what you've done Paul?

Serial-Cichlid Posted October 19, 2004 Author Share Posted October 19, 2004 Trent They're a rather mild fish and they're not too difficult to breed. I kept a colony of 1 male to 4 females (1 female died though due to moving around and rearranging the fishroom) with P.acei "Msuli Point" and Electric yellows and each female would hold every month - month and a half. These were the wild caughts that Nigel brought in. The first few mouthfuls they would spit/swallow but now they're breeding regularly. I haven't kept the P. acei "Tanzania" so I can't give you advice on their aggression levels or whether they're a suitable tankmate. What I would recommend is you keep your best male and sell the other 3 to anyone looking for display fish. I put up a post in this photo forum with video clips in it. There is one there with the hueseri spawning so check it out. I've seen them spawn basically anywhere on ie a flat rock or in a cave or a little pit. HTH All the best Cheers Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
