genetik_defekt Posted January 23, 2009 Author Share Posted January 23, 2009 Thanks Ray, I been looking at getting Monoculus but seen these recently on the net and was curious about them. I'm looking to get a 10x3x2.5 when the funds allow and moving my 8x2x2 into the kitchen, so maybe I'll have enough space and get both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

genetik_defekt Posted January 23, 2009 Author Share Posted January 23, 2009 whats sort of size are they luke? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke001 Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 around 15cm . they looked like a male and female as one had light background and the other was really dark and bright spots but i dont know how to sex them . but the light one had nipped fins and stayed at the back, but they are in a small tank. i think it would be better off looking around and seeing who else has them because $45 from a petshop you could get them much cheaper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
