malawi_man Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 hi I got mine for $17.50 at 6cm or so but expect to pay about $40-$50 each Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gannet Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 ive seen them for about 25$ and they were about 10-12cm. so to answer your question 120$ for a pair is a bit steep as far as im concirened Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.PROPHECY Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 i had 3 15cm ones at one stage for sale at only $50 for all 3, so i rekon 120 is a bit much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malawi_man Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 i dont think it's possible to breed them in captivity, i assume they would have to be about 25cm or so to breed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insect Direct Posted September 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 Everythin ive read basically states they havent been bred in captivity unless given hormones etc, lol Ive got some hormones for plants here hmm na better not!! They're still a kool addition to the tank, the male has been chasing the female around, Hes a bit pushy hope he dont stress her out too much or i may have to seperate them i geuss!! Im thinking of putting some cichlids (electric yellows, auratus and 4 smallish kenya around 3-4cm in with the syno's will they be ok???
