rcon021 Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 they are about Ikola - 2 weeks, pemba 1.5 weeks, Duboisi 2.5weeks.

ryanjury Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 Awesome how many babies do you have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcon021 Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 Ikola 10 Pemba 4 Duboisi 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 They dont have many do they? Are they still young? Or is it just usual for tropheus to have less fry? How many of each do you have in your colonies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcon021 Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 No they don't have many young. The most in a batch that i have got so far is 12 which is from the biggest female ikola. They are about 1cm at the moment. I don't really know how many ikola i have. I should have about 20ish. Pemba I think i have about 7-8, Duboisi i have only 2, the male killed the others i had Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 Do you let them spit in the tank with the parents or strip them? Are all your tropheus in together or in seperate tanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcon021 Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 I did research and then put them in together. If they were the same type but 2 different varients like T. Duboisi White band and T. Duboisi yellow band, then wouldn't have done it. There are chances that they may interbreed, but i havn't seen them courting the other types.

ryanjury Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 Must be an awesome looking setup esp when you grow a few of the younger ones up Do they spit and leave the babies alone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcon021 Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 no you will have to take them out. I take out the fry when i know that they mother is just about to spit...her mouth is always a bit open, the stomach has a pouch under it..thats when i take them out. Before i have taken them out sooner and kept losing the fry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiden Posted September 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 Do you know how far along that is usaully? Is it somewhere between 3 and 4 weeks of holding or? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcon021 Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 once i let the female spit into the tank which took about 5-6 weeks i would say but then again my tank is at 25 degrees Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiden Posted September 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 They take there time then dont they :roll: Mine is at 3wks. She has 4 I can see and I also took 3 fry out the other day that were floating so I guess she is cutting down on numbers as they get bigger perhaps. She is only bout 7-8cm roughly.
