melrick1 Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 I know that these guys are meant to be the easiest guys around to breed. I have bred plecos, rams, whiptails, many cichlids, fighters and the list goes on. But have I had a single fry from these guys lol… In all fairness I haven’t seriously had a go at it. I am thinking of getting a couple of medium sized plastic storage containers (from the wharehouse) and have two sets of 10 fish in with a lot of plants and duckweed and an air filter. Feed them up and do the whole transfer thing. If anyone has any extra tips of the trade??? Also some local breeders around maybe? My girlfriend works at a petshop, but would prefer support the little guys lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melrick1 Posted January 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Haha, oh man yeh it would have helped if I put down what I was actually looking at breeding!!!!

Josh_S Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 What was it then??? :nilly: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melrick1 Posted January 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 lol, awww I wanted you guys to keep guessing! It was the WCMM’s, I know they are not very interesting but I have always thought these fish were really cool. Set it up on the weekend and already have some babies separated off lol. I want to be able to sell them on tm and the forum, cos I have been looking for them for ages and no one really has them, maybe cos there no demand… In which case I will have a garage with hundreds on WCMM…. YAYYYYYYYYYY I will be in haven lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
