Sam Chicklets Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 When I went to feed my fish this morning I noticed my female P. Subocellatus was dressed to the nines in her breeding colors I'll keep you posted on how they do. I'm so happy :smokey: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kona Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 My pelv. Pulcher are swimming around today with about 40 fry. Should I move them to a different tank? So far they seem to be protecting them, but there are a number of other tankmates. They are in a 33 with other adult kribs ,petricolas, 7" pleco and 7" syn. longevatis catfish.

Yes you should move them, but keep the parents and fry together for atleast 3 weeks. This way the fry learn parenting skills. If you leave them in your community tank either they will get eaten or you may end with injured or dead fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subocellatus The ones you are thinking of are P. Pulcher, I did sell some Kribs and juvies (P. Pulcher) at the auction. I purchased the P. Subs at the auction.
