gagaforfish Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 I was just in the pet shop on the way home from school and i noticed some really cool fishies, that i haven't really noticed before, Leopard Fish. They mainly appealed to me because they are small and coldwater, i think.. do you guys think I could put a few of these in a 14L tank?

Caryl Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 Leopardfish, Phalloceros caudimaculatus are lovely little fish and easy to look after. I have not seen them for sale in shops very often. A few would be fine. They are a live bearer and more likely to spawn after a water change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gagaforfish Posted July 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 Cool. Thanks, how big do they get? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 Boys only reach about 20cm, the females get to 30cm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 Boys only reach about 20cm, the females get to 30cm you mean mm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 Oops, I am useless with numbers! :lol: I meant 2cm and 3cm :oops: Grant tells me that is the same as 20mm and 30mm :-? They are just doohickeys to me on the ruler 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 yes. i don't do mm either. cm makes sense to me, but 30 cm is 1ft! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dougstark Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 Hi Caryl, how are the ones you got from me going? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 Excellently thanks Doug. A lot of them went to Christchurch conference and were passed on to southernman (Marty). Another lot went elsewhere (I can't remember who I gave them too :oops: ) and last week my remaining ones went on holiday to participate in the Tasman Club's Fish Display for a week in the Richmond Mall. While there, one of their members fell in love with them so a few remained behind to start a colony over there. The ones left have been producing fry slowly but steadily (which is why I was able to spread them around further) :bounce: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougstark Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 Good to hear. I was hoping they would spread around as they seemed to be in short supply in the south. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 Well I have spread them from one end of the island to the other!! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gagaforfish Posted July 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 I am going to get a few, if my dad lets me.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiskas Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 they are cool and soo easy to keep and breed. They are less likely to eat their young than other livebearers like guppies, but they tend to have less fry in one drop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supasi Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 yes. i don't do mm either. cm makes sense to me, but 30 cm is 1ft! This coming from someone who works in a bank. Think 1 CM as 10c 1MM as 1c See simple :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 yes. but we don't deal with millimetres in banks! its like I only understand temperature in C - but if you are talking about human temperature then I only understand F.

alanmin4304 Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 Builders think in mm and dressmakers think in cm while us antiques think in inches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 When I was measuring for curtains, I would tell Grant it was 2 meters, 3 inches and a couple of doodackies long. :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
