CatBrat Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 Hi All, I just purchaced 2 of these guys today, they measure around 11-13cmSL. Fingers crossed I have a male and a female, judging by the head shape, fin size, and spikes down the body I may well have. They are in very good condition, and have been in the shop for around a year to 18 months. Fish 2 on top, Fish 1 at bottom... Fish 1 (male?): Fish 2 (female?): Any one else out there have them? They are a beautiful fish!! Hope you guys like them... Cheers, Jake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phyrestaata Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Nice photos! Your fish are lovely. I have three of these guys, I think one female two males but I could be wrong...they are in a community tank at the mo but soon I will have a tank just for them, to try if I can get them to breed. They are really cool fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatBrat Posted February 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 Hahaha, havnt been hiding them mate! you know me, I cant keep a secret! Thats awsome phyrestaata! How big are your ones? You have any pics? You didn't happen to buy 2 of the from Jansens Mt Eden about 18 months ago did you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phyrestaata Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 Yes I got the ones at Mt eden and there was a big one at Pupuke that I swiped too. The biggest would be about 13cm, the middle one 11 cm and the smallest maybe 10 cm..I am moving them soon so I will take the opportunity to photo them clearly. I don't handle them unless I need to so its hard to get photos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
