ryanjury Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 They are in the shop's up there aren't they? Otherwise one of the main breeders up there might contact you after he reads this.. I hope you're aware that a 4ft would only really be suitable for a small grow out tank and a colony should eventually reside it a large 5ft preferably a 6ft tank minimum..

dlums Posted October 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 Im aware that it can only take a few, thats why i said a small colony. Ive been breeding fish for over fifteen years now and would love to get a few of these, thanks for your reply though, hopefully someone will have some.

Lucid Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 Hope you get some, they are not cheap. You would be able to house only A FEW YES. Will be in touch if we decide to save our young. (unless the Pictus get them first, lol) Lucid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlums Posted October 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 Hi, yes i got a 4ft just to grow them up for the first one or two years and then will transfer them to a 8 ft. I have at the moment 13 tanks altogether and have ample space for them. I see they can be a bit pricey but have saved up for them so just waiting for someone who can offer me some. Thanks for your reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 Keep posting on here and keep your eyes out prices will be dropping when all the colonies start producing... I have also seen larger groups of older fish selling for reasonable prices on here.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynnie Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 I purchased some early this year. They grow very quickly and are a very rewarding fish to enjoy. The monkey grin on my picture is my grin since getting them. :lol: Some people think they are a expensive fish but I think well worth the money. :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 how big were they when you got them and how big are they now, just after a rough idea how fast they actually grow, thanks. hopefully ill have some soon to add to my tank, so freaking exciting lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant N Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 Hey Lynnie, pleased that you are still getting a buzz from the Fronnies. It hurt to see them go! Could you post pictures at some time? (please ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
