Rod54 Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 These are the largest fish I've owned.....in the last 30 years haven't bred yet.....but close I'd say! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Link2Hell Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Hi Rod nice pair of Sajica they seem to have slipped into the background of the hobby again good to see you might tip some back in once they start breeding Septemfaciatum are in the same complex and seem to have gone into hiding also Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod54 Posted October 19, 2009 Author Share Posted October 19, 2009 Thanks!! I've been looking for septemfasciatum without success I've also got a nice pair of spilurus with lots of red in the fins.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Priscacara Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Nice looking fish, hope you get them spawning soon it adds more dimensions to the hobby to take an interest in...........hmm, wonder if fish keepers are voyeurs at heart :-).

Link2Hell Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Rod do you have any pics of the Spilurum I know these were on the brink due to hybridising with Convicts I like Septems also and the ones we had were the Costa Rican form with the really nice copper colour in the females Maybe one of the guys in Melb still have some Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod54 Posted October 20, 2009 Author Share Posted October 20, 2009 Bought these as sajica.....but believe they are spilurus I took the photo's this evening.....They have taken possession of a clay pot and chasing everything away.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Link2Hell Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Rod you have done well they are indeed Spilurum and 100% true keep the line going Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topogigio Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 that's a beautiful pair of sajicas you have there mate, reminds me of a sajica girl i had some years ago, nice, plump & lots of yellow/brown....same for the spilirus, nice male.... i find it odd how quickly these species seemed to have disappeared from the hobby in a matter of 2-3 years - a real shame.

Rod54 Posted October 22, 2009 Author Share Posted October 22, 2009 Thanks Gents They aren't easy to find.....sure they aren't an allowable import.....but they aren't hard to bred either? I've been looking for the sajica for a while after owning a nice pair many,many years ago. Bought the spilurus off the net sight unseen....they were advertised as a"blue" variant of sajica Found the "real" sajica at Pet City.....I think my first pick ended up to be 2 males so I took another try.....now I think I have at least 2 pair maybe 3....??? I don't think it will be long before I'm worrying about how to raise all the fry.....at least it's warmer now! Some nice cousins and varieties on AquaBid.....but I'm happy with what I've got....for the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benno Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 seeing these really makes me want to get back into the hobby after a 4 year absense, beautiful fish mate. Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
