Joel Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Hey Mooks, Nice looking colony, great size I dont think I have ever seen these in LFS here on the Coast - I dont get to stores in Sydney too often. Are they also kingsizei 'Lupingu' in with them? Cheers Joel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CThompson Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 (edited) 1 male and 22 females. Nice clean looking tank. I also breed these fish (in the hundreds/thousands) and with this same sort of ratio also. Be wary though as I have lost a couple of a males for no other reason than I can figure out other than the boy plain wore himself out. What a way to go I say, but dead is dead. I am trying with two males now, hoping sharing the load will reduce the strain/effort. Edited May 10, 2008 by CThompson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
