Tanksman Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 Interesting - Be interested to know how you get on CM - The Cyrtocara moorii look like interesting fish with those cool "helmets". Might be looking your way for fry soon $7.50 each you say. Have they still got any? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malawi_man Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 i have about 50 cyrtocara moorii fry at the moment between 1 and 2cm. Sadly when you get them to 4-5cm aparently they grow slow up until they get to 10cm and then have another growth spurt. btw they have to be 3.5-4inches to breed.
