killiguy Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 These guys have been driving me crazy.Ive had many adults and tried to pair them over a couple of years.All that did was create carnage.These guys are seriously nasty,esp the females,even in big tanks for their size.As I should have done from the start Ive raised 6 juvies and now have a harmonious pair:)Now Ive just got to get the water right (topic of another thread)Any advice from breeders would be appreciated !!!!!Females are lovely,males pretty dull (hence the name) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bettamuse Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 mine fought a lot and wouldn't breed until I put in a small pot with the open side down and the whole at the bottom (now the top) opened out so the female could just fit though it. The pot was very small, not much taller than the female is long. The pair stopped fighting and have been spawning away in there ever since.BM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingerbeer Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I keep seeing these and getting seriously tempted........ The only thing is the aggression, worries me when I stood in front of a tank full of the little gems and watched the biggest hits coming left right and center.
