Priscacara Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 All look great, have a soft spot for shellies even though my attempt at keeping them failed. Not sure on the species I had but the dom male wiped the tank so love seeing other members success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowie Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 The msobo are a hard little fish to get going I have 3 males and 35 females and Still can't get a constant flow of fry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosco Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 nice one john. Those msobo are looking good. I am just about to lose my male I think he is being beaten up by the sub-dominant male. I won't be upset to see him go I think he is on that killed two holding females in the past 2 months which is annoying. They are tricky fish to get going and keep going. I have never been able to do it. I have around 50+ fry ATM but I will be holding back 20 or so fry to put into colony. cheers rosco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intern1 Posted July 8, 2011 Author Share Posted July 8, 2011 I havent had one mouthful with mine. Not sure what to do to get them going Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sloany Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Lovely shots of the Similis John. Love shellies. Got to agree about the Msobo. I've had 3 mouthfuls, The first resulted in 7 fry which was pretty good as the colony is still quite young and the second mouthful was 13. The 3rd mouthful was lost as it was a different girl and her first attempt. They should be about ready to go again but haven't seen any signs of courting recently. I've got 3m 5f.

shon982 Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Awesome pictures Do the similis use the barnacles or mainly the shells? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Nice pics. That polit looks to be good quality. Where did you source him from? They are notoriously aggressive. Keep an eye on your females. Joel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolla Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 I have had my polit for about 5 months now, only had 1 real problem where i cam home and found every female shredded. Had my male by himself for about 3-4 weeks and his been good as gold since. He still will harass the girls but no beatings. I think he is responsible for 3 lost mouthfulls though. Think im going to have to spereate the females once they are brooding. What size are your polit John? and wats your ratio? Nice pics. That polit looks to be good quality. Where did you source him from? They are notoriously aggressive. Keep an eye on your females. Joel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Think im going to have to spereate the females once they are brooding. I used to do this. But you should be very careful when you introduce the females back to the colony. My males used to beat the females up pretty bad afterwards... I would rearrange the tank when I added the females.

intern1 Posted July 10, 2011 Author Share Posted July 10, 2011 The similis breed anywere shells and barnacles My msobo have a ratio of 5 males and around 25/30 females. Need to get rid of a few males Forgot were j got the male from. So far he has killed 2 females I have 2 boys 7 girls I put lot of floating plastic plants for cover in the tank and the aggression has significantly reduced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
