Afrikan Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 Have just noticed a huge swarm of young Daffodil Pulchers that the community mormon family seem to be taking care of :roll: Yes fishy_t I can see you thinking "They have bred already!" :lol: So if anyone is keen for some Dafs from very nice stock then be sure to yell, I am sure I can spare one or two, or 50 :roll: Here is a link: http://www.bigskycichlids.com/Npulcher_daffodilx.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afrikan Posted May 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 I don't understand why so many people like him - I think he's REALLY REALLY un-hot! :lol: He gives me butterflies, so does Nicholas Cage... I don't like plastic fantastics :lol: Even Julian McMahon isn't perfect, he has a scar on his face, real enough for me 8) *drool* No photos as yet fishy_t, will get some tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishy_t Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 Nicholas Cage??! Come one!! He's so depressing! I don't think he has ever smiled in a movie - and talks like he is constantly stoned! Looking forwad to the pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon1990 Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 What would be a good minimum tank size be just for a pair of these guys by themselves? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishy_t Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 I had my colony (the ones that Afrikan now have) perfectly happy in a 3" tank... they don't need much space by themselves, but as they breed SO much, you need to have space for/a market for the babies. (or just a different hungry cichlid that likes live food...!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afrikan Posted May 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 My other all time fav is Jason Stratham... Won't go into anymore before you really start grossing you out :lol: The trio really love raising those young together huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishy_t Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 haha! He looks like an ugly skinny version of Vin Deisil! Yeah they are good together There used to be 3 females and 3 males, but 3 jumped out and died when I put them into their massive tank (before I managed to get cover-glasses on it) I didn't think they would be jumpers but lesson learned! One of the best things about them I think - they are very happy in big colonies with every generation living together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afrikan Posted May 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 He didn't look skinny in the movie The Transporter *drool*... And Vin Diesel BLEH :-? Plastic Yeah the trio have let some much younger and smaller Dafs in to help raise them and watch them while the bigger ones take off to feed at feeding time, it is amazing to watch and they are stunning, I like Brichardi, but the Daffodils are just that much nicer 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiden Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 I would absolutely have to agree with you on the....................... Pulchers over Brichardi anyday much more striking 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon1990 Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 Anyone here no anywhere in CHCH i can get some of these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chazza404 Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 I was just reading up a bit on tank set ups and ID'ing the sex etc, is it correct that the males are smaller and more colourful? and for set ups in regards to plants? :-? Link: "This species differs from N. brichardi by living in planted areas. Thus, the tank should be heavily planted with robust plants that can tolerate harder water. The lighting should be dimmed by a cover of floating plants." Just wondering what kind of set ups people have used and if they used plants, and their thoughts on if it affects breeding etc (Any photos or links to set ups would be much appreciated ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
