David R Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 Sorry I cant help with the breeding, I'm just wondering how your ctenopoma's get on together?? I've got one thats about 12cm and would like to get a few more, but all the ones I see for sale are quite a bit smaller. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herefishiefishie Posted January 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 Apart from the odd get out of my way :roll: they are fine. They are in a 4 footer, with Altolamprologus calvus & compressiceps. There are plenty of plants & rocks in the tank. 12cm is a nice size I have only seen one that big. Males get to 18cm I am lead to believe. Frenchy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David R Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 Whats the water like?? I didnt think they'd like the harder water like the african cichlids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herefishiefishie Posted January 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 Yeah I know :oops: but I thought i would try with one, it went well, so added the others. The shop that had them kept them at about 8-8.2 ph. My water isnt that hard though. Its the same as how people keep Tinanti, red forest jewels, lionheads...(all riverine cichlids) with rift lake cichlids. Frenchy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
