February 18, 201016 yr comment_356447 yea they always get a huuuuuuuuuge feed after and a tank to themselves So I'm not the only one who does that? Gave a single female a whole 3ft tank to herself one time, to be fair it was the only spare tank but she seemed to enjoy it. Report

February 19, 201016 yr comment_356648 Should be some gorgeous fry be aweome if their are some black ones It sounds like they'll be very nice. Pics will be a must Lucky for some still! My male and female have been living together since I got her and he's not even interested in spawning! Try separating them for a while then re-introducing them....absence makes the heart grow fonder Report
February 22, 201016 yr comment_356934 I might have to try that! I don't mind if they don't breed as he's a VT and obviously they're not the "fancy" ones that are easy to find homes for, I got him because he was too adorable not to have, but it would be fun to watch them do their thing even if only just the once. But they seem so happy swimming around together just being friends, which does make it easy not having to keep them in different tanks. Report
