Rol&Jas Posted April 10, 2004 Share Posted April 10, 2004 Hi All, I like the look of the Hemichromis Lifalili, if I want to breed them what size tank do I need? Any info about this fish will be much appreciated. Jasy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canerod Posted April 10, 2004 Share Posted April 10, 2004 should be able to breed one pair in a standard 2 ft tank but they will claim the whole tank, and you need plenty of cover like flowerpots, or hollow logs, and plants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoges Posted April 12, 2004 Share Posted April 12, 2004 Sorry to hyjack your post but I was wondering if there is any way to sex jewels without vent sexing them. Originally I thought i had a pair, but now the ammount of aggression they show towards each other I wonder if that information was incorrect and infact i have 2 males.

Cannula Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 The way I sex them, which is probably incorrect but seems to work is: females have: a more rounded belly a shorter head a shorter dorsal fin usually better coloured usually smaller males: colour later in a new environment as they prefer to establish territories and know their surroundings more than females which colour up in the bag sometimes. Some but hopefully not all of this is wrong, but it seems to work with my Hemichromis Lifalili which I've had about a dozen or so broods from and still have fry. Can be worse than convicts Good luck with them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
