diver21 Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 i saw the setup of the guy whos selling the fry on trademe, it was quite a large tank with only the male and female in there as the male was quite agressive and killed another, male IIRC. and the tank with the small fry in was also very large, i originally thought that that tank was empty.

fish_fingers Posted January 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 Yeah he has Goldhead fry, I cocked up the title....those are the ones I was meaning.

cichfanatic Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 Here are the original pictures of nine posted a while ago. I had no luck with breeding these back then. Pictures are of mature female fish. Male is more impressive Tried setting up a tank at that time for this purpose but breeding just did not happen. So gave to a friend who has heaps of experience with breeding cichlids and he has been successful. The arrangement was that we share the babies if they do breed. So they have and there is now a possibility we will sell a few. 6 for a start Maybe pm me with offers if interested and will answer questions as well. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cichfanatic Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 I think they are called red fin or Fire fin Not 100% sure Just a note we are not keen to ship these So offers also mean you need to pickup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
