how often is the water change? are you at 26 degrees?

Hi all, I'm trying to find some info on these as there is a local stockist selling JAD full setups at relatively competitive prices. Have any of you had experiences with JAD aquariums? if so how do you rate them? I'm having trouble finding reviews for it online. Thanks in advance

Awww... would be awesome to have some unfortunately there are no unique sets (colonies) of Dwarf Cichlids in the local pet shops even between lfs and animates(plural) when it comes to dwarves.

Hi there, just resurrecting this thread out of interest... Are there any more of these around now? Beautiful fish these.

What are you willing to pay for a fish like that?

All doing fine, one of the blue chicks was actually a dude the rest are "Bulking" lol

I can honestly say that these fish are top notch! They are fed live food everyday

A true MG will have that outline

I think the first set... someone bought off me on tm for $25 ea. A guy later bought all of mine that I set aside for sale which is about 7 for 100$ My keepers went to a friend of my mothers who did not breed them. They got as big as the huge female you have and then they passed on I think. He had somewhere around 7 Identical to him when I bred him with a similar girl but they didn't all have his blue outline but had the dark body with black mask and yellow fins (My Black ghost line which looked like the one in the last of the three pictures posted above) I didn't continue that line due to personal reasons. I regret that now, very very deeply.

They are indeed!! I took one off her , I have vids of him somewhere...and a Cambodian CT female, he was a very good parent fish.

I'm up for a good mustardgas regardless of tail type. Only if genuine yellow finnage on dark body with purple or blueish outline on fins. on second thought I'd be keen on yellow finnage alone

If you're having trouble with Mustard gas getting him to do his thing... might want to sell him or try show him a female for encouragement, remove tank lid and see if he blows bubbles in cold air? if you think he's genuinely old that's how you will find out if he wants to breed or not. The whole VT thing... I sold one for $15 a while back depends how well you advertise and the quality of your photo. IMO There is no supreme tail type in this type of fish... they are all same species and yet some clubs frown upon crossbreeding. Whatever is the most (aesthetically pleasing) popular is what breeders aim for hence the high amount of attention paid to "DUMBO" and HALFMOON The market ran out of spadetails that way, they are real pretty but some call them an eyesore. There are exceptions though with any fish like Dragon VT with good scaling... some breeders may be interested but currently its just a fancy thing with people saying things like "I have a special fighting fish" "crowntail is better than halfmoon blah blah blah" I'd use a good VT for coloration or to start a new line but once I went plakat I knew I would not find anything more stable yet plakats are cheap as chips lol.

Just float the bag for ages... I don't use stress coat or anything, that just goes in when I do water changes and I'd rather the fish work with the water than vice versa. Which fish did you buy? generally fighters don't need much time to acclimate if your tank is the right temp and pH. Did you buy from tm? if so link to auction please

Will work with you on this one if you want as I'm already selling whatever is leftover to start on Halfsun.

Oh yep, sounds sweet. Its good that you have a batch going... will be nice to see how they turn out. I'm in New Windsor so couldn't be me... plus the ones I got had dragon gene on them. Let me know if you need any more help. A good crowntail is hard to find is yours a king crowntail? its not clear from photos
