David R Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 Cool, I havent seen them for sale for ages!! Good luck with the breeding, I'm sure the babies would be worth a bit if you did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cichfanatic Posted April 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 Thanks Freakyfish The male is even better looking but very shy Are Alto's easy to get in Australia? They are very hard to find over here not many come in at all I have just been very lucky to find the 5 I have We need more of these neat fish over here so I hope all goes ok with this pair and they have a lot of fry. Able then to offer others the opportunity to own them All the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A.PROPHECY Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 nice! ive got 2 pairs of gold head comp well thats what i think they are i just had both females with egg tubes down , i thort they may have spawnd but another male got in the cave and that was the end of that and the females skiney again so i think she did end up laying the other females still got her egg tube out and the males right by her cave lol so hopefuly they get down to it , still all very young though so i dont expect to much from them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

herefishiefishie Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 Alto's can be obtained over here easy enough. Well some variants anyway. Some take a little bit of time to look for. I am with Brad too. Lovely colour in the fins. Frenchy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquatopia Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 What a superb colour. I bet theres a queue of people wanting fry if they breed but please add me too it Not seen such a vibrant colour of them before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cichfanatic Posted May 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 Will add you to the list should I be lucky enough to get Fry from them Aquatopia Don't give up looking for these neat fish I bought 2 of mine from a local shop and the others I got from a person on this site Paid good money for them though Let your local shop know you are keen to purchase some but the way things are with importing and especially with regards to these more exotic fish luck seems to be not on us fish fancier’s side. Well worth it should you find some Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
