ryanjury Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 Congrats but aren't these fish infertile? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loopy Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 i guess that doesn't mean they won't still give it a try!!! :lol: I can't decide whether to say congrats or not! How about if they hatch we will all jump up and down and yell "hurray!!" Still must be pretty cool to watch their behaviour. They must be very happy in their tank!

cichlid7 Posted January 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 it looks like 60% are infertile and the rest are fertile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 Just did some research and they are usually infertile or very bad parents.. But there have been reports of them breeding successfully.. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cichlid7 Posted January 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 they seem extremely protective over the eggs and were even chasing the 23cm shark away lol hopefully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evil_elmo Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 i bought a pair from animates about a year ago and within half a day of owning them they laid eggs and continue laying every couple of weeks every batch the eggs never hatched Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
