Afrikan Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 Yikes just noticed the.. 3cm??? I didn't think even the males coloured up at 3-4 cm.. mine didn't colour up till at least 4 inches.. Are you sure you don't mean inches? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freakyfish Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 They are definatly not 3-4cm 3-4 inches maybe lol Still good luck with them Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropheus Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 They will be the same batch as mine so prob be about 4-5cm. My male coloured up early as well. Good stock I guess. Well done nimbo freak. Just watch that male doesnt harrass the female. Keep us posted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nimbochromis_freak Posted May 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 ea the male isnt 4 cm hes more like 5cm but the female is about 3-4cm shes really small. She was in a different tank to the male, and she started to drop her tube by her self so i put her in the tank that the male was in and they started spawning straight away, I was worried that the male would of killed her but he was in straight away.
