herefishiefishie Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 I love Kingsizei's, they are still expensive here. {Retail $35ea-5cm} The buggers smash the s... out of each other & the males never leave the females alone, even when holding. Making them a challenge to keep together & breed. It will be a great mix of colour, hope they all work out for you. http://www.cichlid-forum.com/articles/p_kingsizei.php Frenchy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gannet Posted July 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 i no, i love working there in the weekends Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herefishiefishie Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 They don't have to breed to be trouble, it's just a tip to keep an eye on them. The dominant male will harass anything that looks similar. The shop I got mine from, the owner only keeps one per tank as he has lost a few.
