Ben Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 After loading the above pictures the male I had been trying to get a reasonable shot of all night was just sitting there watching me.Then the old man of the tank who I hadn't seen colour up in months decided he wanted a shot at the title.This being the prize.

benno84 Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Definitely would be keen on some fry. I have had so many almost sightings of these but have turned out to be hybrids Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FullyYellow Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Hey guys just wondering if there has been any updates on everyone's existing colonies. I got a batch of fry that I managed to get my hands on hopefully get a good ratio from that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Another good sized mouthful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosco Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Good stuff Ben that is a good mouthful. They are hard fish to keep breeding. I think that the one of the keys might be to keep adding girls and moving the boys out. Plus I don't think I had perfect water conditions because I was running too many colonies and tanks and I didn't give them the time they deserved.

FullyYellow Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Ben that is a good quantity of fry you have there! Keep me posted would definitely love to add another bloodline to my existing fry. Just over 4cm in size now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbunamad Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 I had 1 male and 8 females @ 7 cms in a 3x2x2 tankThey had not bred so I dropped the temp to 24 degrees did a 50% water change then increased the temp to 28 degrees.The next day 1 female had a mouthful only 12 fry but it was a start.I only got 4 mouthfuls over the next 6 months so they were not prolific breeders.That was my experience.

Ben Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 I don't know what I am doing right but I stripped two girls two weeks ago and have three girls with mouthfuls at the moment. One of those three mouthfuls happened while I was refilling the tank during a water change.Now I just need the fry to pack on some size. I don't want another tank but really need a bigger grow out tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
