AMAZONIAN Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 Hi Alan I have a breeding Trio as well but they never really took off with people, but are kept by some more as an oddity than for their colour and attributes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted July 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 A plus for them also is that they can be kept in unheated tanks, and in mild climates, outside thru the winter. Mine have all sadly departed these climes, but I have replaced them with breeding guppies and of course the odd killie or two.
