Qattarra Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 I've been doing research on these. They like a planted tank with lots of hiding places. I'll be housing these with some kribs,some rams, some barbs and maybe tetras. Here is a pic of an adult male in brood coloration. I think it's stunning. The author of the pic says it doesn't do him justice. Man I hope mine get to those colours WOW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvision Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 Big tank? Kribs, Rams & Acara all live in the same part of the tank... might make things difficult when they decide to start breeding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Chicklets Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 (edited) Those guys stay smallish right? Do they breed in our tap water levels? My info says 6 to 8 cm soft to medium hard water ph 6.0 to 6.8, and temp 25 to 30 for breeding. Did you get them from Henry Sue?

Nandopsis Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 The rules state that if they breed "That the staff gets free fry". Sorry those are the rules. :smokey: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
