Adrienne Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 Just thought I would share a pic of my 12 week old males (or some of them) in their 100 litre tank. Theres 50 odd males in there ranging in size from 4cm down and probably 10 or so females all of the same age of 12 weeks. So far so good, existing peacefully, despite 3 tank changes. Keeping young males together doesn't always work but these guys are young despite being big fish already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rox Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 Wow very very nice fish I love the blues and purples. I have no idea how many males and females are in our 540litre community tank, along with dwarf Gourami of all colours, goes against all the rules but if it works, it works. I also replenish my breeding tanks with nice little coloured ones out of Garry's growout tank, at the moment I have a gorgeous baby blue male living amongst my fry, as I catch them from other tanks I just dump them in, on his head and as far as I know he doesn't eat any :lol: :lol: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: He'll stay there until Garry plucks him out for breeding or someone comes along and offers us $$'s :roll: and then he'l be replaced with another sweetie.

Jfishfanatic Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 Nice one adodge!! What type of fighters are they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrienne Posted July 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 Nice one adodge!! What type of fighters are they? don't laugh - I purchased two veiltails - a beautiful blue male from Rotorua and a female from up here in Auckland, she was blue with a bit of red. Both imports. These fighters all show crowning to a certain degree, am sure its from the mother, theres no way the father could have been anything other than full vt. Colours range from blue/black to blue with varying amounts of red in them. They are all stunning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 Awesome fish . How many black ones did you get from that spawn? What colour females were there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discusguru Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 Are you sure the female is an import? You'll never know what you get nowadays with all the crosses . Some of fighters sold to lfs by importer are actually bred locally :evil: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
