Daffodil brichardi orange

[sicj]

I have 2 daffodils which i have had for about 1 year now they were about 3cm - 4cm when i got them

They have grown a bit since that time and i am uncertain if they are a pair 1 of them is much bigger than the other 1 is about 8cm the other is about 5.5 cm

They are starting to get some nice colours.

I dont know if they are a pair, i have transferd them into a tank by themselves with a big shell and they dont seem to be fighting would this indicate that i have a pair> Or is there a way that i can tell

Thanks John

Hi mate,

Typically, if they're in close proximity of each other and not fighting, they could be forming a pair bond. However, if they're not fighting because they have enough territory space to not get on each other's nerves, then they may just be two tolerant individuals.

A female should be slightly smaller than the male.

To encourage breeding (the only true way to distinguish pairs ), feed more live and frozen foods and keep the water changes to 25% weekly. Excellent water quality is the key to Lake Tangs.

Cheers,

Andrew.

Yesterday they were fighting the larger one has taken up residence in the shell in the tank and the smaller one was in the corner so they musnt be a pair.

Anyone want to buy them??

Just wanting clarify whether we are talking about daffodils or brichardi. You might know that the only daffodils around are Neolamprologus pulcher. Not brichardi

to note, anything is possible with these fish. The male can suddenly decide to beat the hell out of the female if he thinks that he doesn't have enough territory! So keep a close eye. Give lots of space and caves.

Cheers
