Aquatopia Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 I reckon you've picked a hard one to start with, but I may be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephikinsfish Posted April 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 Yes I have said that to her too but she is passionate about them and they will be well looked after even if they don't breed. She's not getting them till August still saving etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquatopia Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 Thats cool - and you can always set up a separate tank for her to breed easier fish - how old is she ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaNs Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 Better luck buying a lotto ticket TBH if she wants to breed somehting and get a return so she can buy for fish/tanks look at high demand fish like tetras/platties(many others) that you can sell to the pet shop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lmsmith Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 Good luck with those. They've never been breed in captivity, except in Singapore in 100,000 gallon tanks. There have been a few unsubstantiated reports overseas about people supposedly breeding them, but noones ever seen evidence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
