Johannes Visser Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 Very nice !! All the best with the breeding plans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firenzenz Posted August 7, 2007 Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 Hey Nimbo...... Yeah I love my Fusco too. He's about 20cm now. Hope you do better with your girl, mine got nailed by him. She was too big for any of the other tanks to hold( tried and she ate some juvi peacocks). By the time I rigged up a home it was too late for her. last shot -The Giraffe keeps him in good colour. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted August 7, 2007 Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 Nice pics Very awesome fish how big are they.. Good luck for someone breeding these! They look like they have huge mouths though.. Firenz is that a red empress in the bottom photo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firenzenz Posted August 7, 2007 Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 They look like they have huge mouths though.. Big enough to take 6cm electra-Bugger! Firenz is that a red empress in the bottom photo Lonely boy-waiting,waiting.......still waiting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted August 7, 2007 Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 Damn a 6cm electra that is a big mouth! Haha that was my next question I knew it was an empress was hoping you had a girl (or some babies) lying around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malawi_man Posted August 7, 2007 Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 I find it funny that if you look closely at the small venustus that come into shops you can easily pick out the odd fusco. Pretty disappointing reall. I have seen this a few times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted August 7, 2007 Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 I think there was a case of what appeared to be a fusco x giraffe that someone put a pic up of on here definitely wasn't a fusco and definitely wasn't a giraffe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babyfish Posted August 7, 2007 Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 I 've seen the same. In fact had argument with LFS over a giraffe being a Fusco- was happy to get Fusco at giraffe price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nimbochromis_freak Posted August 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 yea thats what happened with mine they came in as graffie and i bought 4 and they were so aggro that only could have one in the tank gave it to someone to look after then after 5 months ve got her back with a male down the road. so i hope for the best for them.
