Ant N Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 If you can't get fronnies, would you consider some Ice Blue(red top) zebra? real characters and brilliant colour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon1990 Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 If you can't get fronnies, would you consider some Ice Blue(red top) zebra? real characters and brilliant colour I think he might want to stick with tangs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firenzenz Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 and they would be competing for the same territories, so could get messy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firenzenz Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 There are a few breeding them now- try a 'WTB ' request in the private trade and exchange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sian-a Posted August 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 done, hopefully someone will give me a pm :lol: Are they really rare in nz or something?? :-? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 Relatively rare in nz.. There are only 1 or 2 breeding colonies around, but they have some quite old offspring and as soon as all the colonies of them which are maturing breed they will be easy to come by and at a good price, they're awesome fish its just a shame they do best in colonies in big tanks and don't really do so well in mixed tanks otherwise im sure more people would keep them. Your lelu's should be relatively easy to find too they are being bred by a few people and I have even seen the orange ones for sale on trademe before. If you plan to keep them with fronts for the long term (years +) the fronts may get big enough to eat them eventually but that will be years down the track.

sian-a Posted August 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 Thanks for tht in4. Im planning to get some to keep with the frons for now because the fronts thta id be gettin soon will be just baby size......got a 5x2x2 foot tank coming for the fronts and then the leleupi stay wif the 4 foot that i have now. i didnt no there was orange ones... are they more common? i think those are the ones i saw at hollywood last time then i told one of mi mates and i BET he went and got them :evil: could you direct me to a source??? you would be a legend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glen Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 Hi, I have four that I might get rid of about 4cm. I need the room to grow on some fronts as I have another girly holding . if not I have a friend here that has heaps of really young lelu's that he is selling but again im in New Plymouth. The'd be pretty cheap though I think. He goes to auckland a bit I will ask him when the next time he is coming up if you like. Pm me if your interested.
