herefishiefishie Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 They are mature enough to breed at a pretty small size. and once they start, nearly like rabbits or convicts. They are slower growing, when compared to say Malawis. Frenchy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraigMcN Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 Mine started breeding at about 2" (for the males, 1 1/2" for the females) and haven't stopped. I got 5 at about the same size as yours (2cm) and ended up with two breeding pairs and lots of fry. Neat fish, probably took about 4 months before they started breeding. Caught me by suprise coz I assumed they were still too small. (adults apparently get to about 4") Just give them lots of caves and hiding holes, and a reasonably strong current. C.
