fishboi Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 thats awesome. how old are the parents? trio ? pair? any info would be great and put me on that list too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcon021 Posted August 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 I don't keep trios or pairs. I like colonies :lol:. I have 3 males and 5 females in the group. The parents are not big. They are less than 6cm, and the female being bigger. Out of the 3 males only one is 'active', and only one female is 'active' out of the five. The others are taking it easy i guess.

rcon021 Posted August 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 they have red eyes and the body is not full yellow more like blotches. I will put some pictures soon the young are healthy and have a good hatch rate. I have counted about 27 fry, and 5 eggs that didnt hatch. Good for an albino i think :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devon Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 hahah ausome. that means. That if they are fullying up are getting new water conditions temp etc. and they havent seen the male in a while this could end well very quickly... The big females fulling up?

rcon021 Posted August 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 they shouldn't be too hard mate to breed. Just take them home don't do big things for a week and then next weekend do a 3%-40% waterchange with colder water and they should breed within a couple of days max a week. they should breed fine aslong as the females are in condition, meaning 'fat'.
