waterlogged Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 Ok so I already have 6 of these awesome guys And am thinking about getting another few. I love watching them feeding the way they dart to the top, my little Pihranas lol I currently have; 6 angels 4 Kribs 15+ Panda Cory's 3 SAE 1 Zodiac Loach 3 Gbas So if I get more do you guys think that It will be too many widows, (asthetically)? wanting to get a scholl of smaller tetras latter on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 Sure you can get more, but remember that they can get relatively large. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bishop Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 How big is the tank? If it is big enough sure. I like tanks with a good range of movement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 Ditch the Widows and get Black Phantoms because they are smaller so you will be able to have more of them and they still have the nice dark colour like the Widows. Just my two cents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waterlogged Posted May 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 I like the widows better than the phantoms, and the guys I have a fully grown thats why I wasn't to sure. I might grab a few more, I'll ask stew if he has any left Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redracer77 Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 I have 10 and have thought about more. Depends on tank size though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waterlogged Posted May 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 sorry have a 300L 4ft. I have angels, corys, GBAs and guppies breeding atm, can't be bothered trying to breed them tbh lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsarmina Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 not hard to breed when you decide to try. have a small tank ready with a bunch of plant (i use weighted indian fern), no filter, marbles on bottom. feed adults with good food for a few days. put in little tank in the evening (as many as you can) take out next late morning / early afternoon. you can leave in for another day for more eggs. wait 4-7 days for fry to hatch and be visible. feed fry food as required. once big enough not to be eaten, put in with adults. repeat process if desired (depending on tank space ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 $3 each aren't they? Go get some more. Just saw a whole lot at animates with black phantoms. The combination of the 2 fish looks terrible :sick: :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bishop Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 $3 each aren't they? Go get some more. Just saw a whole lot at animates with black phantoms. always pushing through the sale :rotf: Do they pay you on commission.? :gigl: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waterlogged Posted May 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 lol he doesn't work there enough for me to worry about that. I want to try get some as cheap as possibly. Might try breeding in a few months once I have the angels breeding set up going. would the fry survive ok on white worms? or would I need Brine shrimp?
