DanceswithDingoes Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 Skimming through a Bayfish stock list the other day I noticed a few interesting inclusions in the Neolamprologous section, namely an Albino pulcher and 'greenface' brichardi (Fulwe?) I know Kiku is around but what of olivaceous, gracilis, crassus and splendens? Which neos are on the import list? Could any breeders advise me of minimum tank sizes for pairs/colonies? (Yew has already told me but I forgot ) Thanks.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 I have a freind who has crassus, but he has never bred them. The others I know nothng about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mezzacam Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 Well i had mine breeding in a 2ft and they were fine. They step breed... Don't know if that's what it is actually called, lol.. but that's what i call it... Each generation of fry, helps the parents to look after the next lot... So you can keep various stages of fry living in with the parents... So a 2ft will house a pair (Wouldn't put anyhting else in though, if you're planning on breeding) As they can become quite an angry little fish. As for what types are here, I wouldn't really have a clue Hope this helps, Cameron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meredith Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 Hey I was also looking through a list from bayfish and have seen the new brichardi come on the list and lets hope there is more. Meredith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tricky Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 I have a pair of Neolamprolugus Brichardi in a 4 footer, they breed like rabbits but get super aggressive when they do breed and try to take over the tank. I have now semi partitioned them off (theres a 20mm gap that all fish can still go through), to prevent them smashing other fish and to protect other fish smashing the fry.

Eddie Salita Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 Hey Dingo, I have seen the following varieties for sale in qld: crassus, daffodil, splendens, olivaceous, gracilis. I would think a 3x18x18 is a good minimum size for a pair of these. They can be hard on tankmates who cant defend themselves. Which neos are on the import list Do you mean which of the lamprogines or which of the brichardi complex are on the list? Cheers, Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanceswithDingoes Posted May 31, 2005 Author Share Posted May 31, 2005 Thanks Jason, was referring to brichardi complex, tossing up whether to run 3x 18" cubes per shelf or 2 x 30"x18"x18" per shelf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Salita Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 I think the 30's are the go. When they get going they will fill the tank in no time, and small tank will have to be emptied too often. Also I was thinking if you gould go to a 36" maybe you could put a pair of julies in there, which would show off the parental behaviour better. Julies should do well so long as they have their own little rock pile. waddya reckon as for imports, brichardi is on the list.......so potentially any variety perhaps Cheers, Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanceswithDingoes Posted May 31, 2005 Author Share Posted May 31, 2005 Last time I had tangs I mixed J. regani with N Leleupi, the result was a bloodbath, so not mixing tangs again unless I have a 6ft tank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maw Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 I think this maybe off the topic - not sure, but are Teleogramma brichardi available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 The greenface Brichardi on AI's list are N. Brichardi *Ratunga Barundi*. I had and bred these fish about 18 months back. The other N.Brichardi that are generally available are: Aussie strain (princess), Kiku, Barundi, Ratunga Barundi, Bemba, kygoma?. I'm not sure about other forms of neos apart from the odd Pulcher but i'm not sure what location the fish we have here are. Anthony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlakeyBoyR Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 I've seen the albino version from Bay and they arent bad looking. They still have some of the blue in the fins but with normal albino colouring (or lack there of). In general though I'm not a fan of albinos.
