callum Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 this female decided that she wants to go solo and she wont let any males breed with her. Shes inexperienced as its her first time so hopefully she'll realise that she needs a male :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I currently have 1 pair of yellow leleupi that are breeding well in a 3ft by themselves. last batch of eggs I hatched from them gave me 200+ fry heres a pic of the father: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afrikan Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 It will be great to keep these guys going callum, there used to be so many of them around, and then due to the fact that people found them too hard to part with as young, they then stopped breeding them, so they more or less fell off the face of the earth... glad to see you getting some going again, we have some lelelupi here too, I think they are a stunning little tangy... we need to make the most of what little amount of tangys we have in NZ huh. Good luck with her next time anway, keep us posted 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
