Josh Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Ok These fish are here, I know that. So who is breeding or can get their hands on some Metriclima Membe deep? Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctaylor Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Pretty sure that someone mentioned them being at Majestic Aquariums in Taren Point. Think they're a bit pricey though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted April 26, 2010 Author Share Posted April 26, 2010 I have seen them on the majestic site. $400 for 6 fish. Not to bad for a newish Psuedo really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 but like all pseudos will breed like rabbits and have the price botton out in a month or two. better to wait till they are realistic in price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosco Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Laurie has them and they should be breeding but they are not. They might be like Msobo and take a bit longer to get going. Mawfish did have them at one time. cheers rosco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Link2Hell Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Laurie maybe you just need the right video for them to watch and add that something special to the water Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 i thought you usually got the fish going by doing your naked dance in front of the tanks laurie? possibly you just need to do more than just dance to get the special additive chris refers to *shrug* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Posted April 29, 2010 Author Share Posted April 29, 2010 I would also love some pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chorrylan Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 I'll try to find time this weekend to take some. Mine were really shy but a few weeks ago I decided that if they weren't going to breed I'd use their tank to growout a whole lot of electric yellow and maingano fry. They're much braver now with a hundred plus dither fish in with 'em (eating their food). Males are like a large polit. Females and juveniles are a similar yellow to msobo.

intern1 Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 thats a pretty nice mix in terms of color for males and females, sounds like there nicer than the msobos how do you find aggression with them compared to other pseudos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Link2Hell Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Found this pic .... nice male membe deep male maybe they just need some where private chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chorrylan Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 how do you find aggression with them compared to other pseudos fairly mild as far as I've seen (albeit mine haven't spawned yet so they could get stroppier then). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandy001 Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 I bought 10 of these about 12 months ago. 8 survived to adulthood 4m &4f. I had no sign of breeding so I moved 3 of the males out about 2 weeks ago . They are in a standard 4ft tank with a colony of 10 Copadichromis azureus. Aerlier this week I found one of the girls badly beaten up, she died soon after. Yesterday I could only see 2 girls & thought the worst. Upon a closer inspection I found her hiding with a mouthfull of eggs. Here's hoping she holds full term. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dobbin4 Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 still holding Sandy?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intern1 Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 saw the video the chris put nice pics also. Looks like its a polit and msobo or solousi female crossing pretty amazing. Do the pilots and msobo live fairly close in the lake it could be a result of hybridization many years ago, but im sure thats with many of the species in the lakes.

sandy001 Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 Hi dobbin Bad news checked two days ago & no females were holding. It gets worse he also killed another girl, not sure if it was the one holding. I am now down to 1male & 2 girls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
