cameron Posted September 30, 2006 Report Posted September 30, 2006 just wondering if any body has breed them before Quote
rcon021 Posted September 30, 2006 Report Posted September 30, 2006 yup i have..about 2-3 months ago Quote
ryanjury Posted September 30, 2006 Report Posted September 30, 2006 Sweet, you sold your breeders though didn't you rcon? We got some too but I think I screwed up the sexing and one of the girls turned into a male so was hunting for a female saw one holding in a petshop so got her.. So maybe when shes recovered and conditioned they may breed for us. Quote
rcon021 Posted September 30, 2006 Report Posted September 30, 2006 yea i did. When i see a fish i like i breed them for a bit and then sell them. I get the thrill out of breeding stuff, but not having all the breeders...I don't have the MTS yet.. Quote
cameron Posted October 1, 2006 Author Report Posted October 1, 2006 cool thanxs guys just got a female and got 7 fry not many but the broods why get bigger and bigger as she get bigger i sapose:-) Quote
ryanjury Posted October 2, 2006 Report Posted October 2, 2006 The tiny female we got held 13 but spat them in the bag on the way home Quote
rcon021 Posted October 2, 2006 Report Posted October 2, 2006 i had 4 females and one lonely but happy male. Biggest spawn was 22 from one female Quote
malawi_man Posted October 2, 2006 Report Posted October 2, 2006 i have 1m 3f. Planning to grow them up a bit then maybe put them in the new 750litre tank for breeding Quote
Tropheus Posted October 2, 2006 Report Posted October 2, 2006 I have 4F and 2m. they breed so much now i feed the fry to my peacocks. The same with the jag fry. Great protein for conditioning Quote

rcon021 Posted October 2, 2006 Report Posted October 2, 2006 where were you guys when i was breeding these fish Quote
malawi_man Posted October 2, 2006 Report Posted October 2, 2006 i was right here you didn't offer us any Quote
parry Posted October 3, 2006 Report Posted October 3, 2006 Being new on the cichlid front - I've just googled them and they sound like great fish - if you are selling them, and keeping a list from this posting .... I'd be keen for some fry too.... Quote
rcon021 Posted October 3, 2006 Report Posted October 3, 2006 remember how there was a thread about who was breeding what..yea i put them on that. Anyhow i will keep you guys posted when i have interesting stuff breeding Quote
ryanjury Posted October 3, 2006 Report Posted October 3, 2006 Actually I remember I think Rcon was selling his 4 adults and some fry on trademe from memory they went cheap and I was trying to convince the misses :oops: Quote
Afrikan Posted October 11, 2006 Report Posted October 11, 2006 I have a female holding at the moment and also have some fry.. Mekhaela Quote
janine456 Posted November 17, 2006 Report Posted November 17, 2006 Just thought id bring up a old thread stripped my female yesterday and got between 20 to 30 fry Quote
janine456 Posted November 17, 2006 Report Posted November 17, 2006 Thanks, so if anyone is interested nin buying some fry off me just send me a PM. Im going away on holiday soon so wont be able to care for any fry. Quote
janine456 Posted November 17, 2006 Report Posted November 17, 2006 Probably not keen on shipping sorry, but maybe you know a fishy person up in aucks that will pick them up from me and ship to you? Got aroun 30 of them Quote
Afrikan Posted November 17, 2006 Report Posted November 17, 2006 I am currently raising up some Lithobates fry from my girls at the moment, totally easy raising and they have grown like weeds... Hardy little blighters, well they are Africans of course :lol: :lol: Quote
janine456 Posted November 17, 2006 Report Posted November 17, 2006 I would keep them if i could, but considering the circumstances that im going away, none would survive by the time i get back! Id rather sell them so someone who can look after them well Quote
