mickgibbo Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 Just thought I would post some pictures of my Male Lwanda who is about 8 months old and his new Fry. The pictures are not very clear but best I could do considering my good camera is getting repaired. Here is my Young Bristle Nose as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTR73 Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 Great looking peacock the Lwanda, but can confirm one thing: is he really just 8 months old???! Or is that how long you've actually had him? (Like, did you grow him up on 80%+ protein food, in a swimming pool or something?!!) Regardless, nice looking fish you have there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im growing my fry up now, how long does it take for them to reach 3cm?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you keep up the water changes and give them a good diet, they should thrive and grow to 3cm in at least 6 months if not sooner. I currently have P.saulosi fry that are 2cm at 3 months old.

Aquaman Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Nice pic's One question - that top pic with the pot as a cave - does he use that as a spawning cave? (i.e do they spawn inside the pot?) Cheers Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
