ryanjury Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 http://www.fnzas.org.nz/fishroom/bumble ... 29965.html from last time you asked.. "Males go jet black but there colour does change with mood males also get bigger and females stay smaller browner and keep the stripes.."

snookie Posted May 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 so should i remove the males ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smidey Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 so should i remove the males ? i wouldn't unless some really nasty behaviour took place. i would try to swap some males for females or just wait until they spawn & raise the fry & keep the females. that will take a while though.

snookie Posted May 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 they are breeding size could i just keep the pair ? do you want a male ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 I would leave them all together just in case you mucked up the venting it can be hard.. But be very careful I have heard of males wiping out 2-3 females so 5 could kill her quite quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smidey Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 they are breeding size could i just keep the pair ? do you want a male ? you could but if anything happens to a male then you wont have a back up, anything happens to the female your up the creek without a paddle to i guess. No thanks, they get too nasty for the africans in my tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
