DiverJohn Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 The female apparently appear slightly ummmm... "plumper" ( why do i feel that i am going to get in the poo for saying that ? :lol: :-? ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hazara Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 Yeah.. and the males are the ones tearing each other to shreds.... Remember these were the original "Fighting" fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimTam22 Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 are they peacefully to other fish?? like would they be ok in a community tank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afrikan Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 I wouldn't recommend community as in tetras etc, but then people may have them and they are fine?? I had a whole heap that I raised outside... when I finally brought them inside and acclimatized them to warm water I noticed the warmer it got for them the more attitude they have lol I held that lot in my Geo tank before they went to people. The females are definately smaller and plumper, males being larger, brighter and fins are a dead give away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burgo Posted December 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 Thanks for all the help. I would like to set them up in a display tank but not with normal cichlids. I might purchase some Geos Braz and mix the 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afrikan Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 They go in nicely with Geo Jurapari and Suris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
