Billaney Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Hi I'd be interested in a couple or three Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcon021 Posted May 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 you may want more than that, they do better in a colony. It may take some time. You are probably looking at another 2 months atleast (if all goes to plan) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Burrows Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 yeah im also interested in some too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcon021 Posted May 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 First these fish will do better in a small colony rather than just 2/3(not trying to sell more, back ground reading will help) Second, they are best on a green diet. Third you may want to think of the cost involved. I am not discouraging or tyring to annoy anyone. Tropheous are worth abit and they have really small broods.

IOU1 Posted June 18, 2006 Report Share Posted June 18, 2006 Are they those golden banded ones that were in jansens for about $100 each a while ago. I was told they would be great fish to breed as they are rare. Are these those same fish? Do the parents eat the young? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcon021 Posted June 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2006 yup they are the same fish. I have a colony of them not just a male and a female. The parents will eat the fry but i have the fry seperated from them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
