becc4 Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 Can anyone who has, or has had these be able to give me their thoughts on them. Have found 2 in a local shop and I'm a little interested but they are costly so want to get some background on them first. Have done the google search, looking for NZ knowledge.

becc4 Posted April 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 oh they look lovely. the ones that I was thinking about purchasing did not look like that at all. They looked more grey all over with out the patterning. Hmmm so I am in two minds now. Cause I have a couple of gold sevs, I thinking maybe green sevs. Sevs are less demanding in terms of water chemistry etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snookie Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 they loose the dots as they grow up . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
becc4 Posted April 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 The ones that I was looking at were only about 4cm, quite little and quite plain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snookie Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 yep mine are bit like that size and are starting to loose dots . I agree sevs are easier ,but everyone has sevs only the best have uaru ! 8) feel the power ,you know you want too !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snookie Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 lol A good guy too tlk too is Alan the Mod ,he breeds these guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 Yep, those are the first of my babies to be sold on. All I've had all weekend from the NZKA members that dropped in and oooowwd and aaahhhhaaad at them. I had to rescue them from M&D as I think they are ready to spawn again, and of course the first reaction is to kill/eat the babies. I lost one, but thankfully I was there when the male started on them. Didn't take you long to get a pic up Rogan, you proud little fella.

I am a little sus about the ones in the shop, so maybe wont purchase the first ones I see, i will look around a little more. although i haven't really seen them in other shops. Awww heck i don't know what I want to do now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 Tim was supposed to get some pics yesterday but was too busy celebrating. What size are those ones David?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David R Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 Around 5-6", will be interesting to see what happens if/when two of them pair up! My first pair must have been lesbians because they laid eggs all the time but they never got fertilised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

herefishiefishie Posted April 15, 2007 Report Share Posted April 15, 2007 Unless the male wasn't mature enough yet. Frenchy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David R Posted April 15, 2007 Report Share Posted April 15, 2007 They were both around 7-8", so should have been big enough I think. Either that or he was just clueless, no one gave him the birds and bees talk... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
