Afrikan Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 Upload to You Tube! Electras were on the list for sometime through Brooklands and haven't been back in since. Good that you have got them breeding as I haven't even checked to see if they are on MAF's recent "allowed list". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johannes Visser Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 Congrats !! all the best with the future broods. Blue Dolphin Fry top pick Electra Fry bottom pick Sorry not perfect picks We have found they are very similar, even have orange anal fins and black on the top fins. Electra's have more of a silver shimmer on the body. Would be a task to separate them if they we in together until a later stage, or the dolphins colour up, good thing we have ours in separate tanks.

banaro Posted June 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 its awesome i got them i reckon as they are still not that common i see there are some on tm is that malawinz from here? has 30 fry so they are getting a little brooder but still not as likely to find as the usuals wich is cool as they are different cool looking fish and eventually i might trade some for some peacocks or somthing saves forking out money when 2 people can help each other out all well today havent lost any so im stoked bye for now Geremy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
