punman Posted December 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2007 I was so excited to see a female foai holding eggs on December 23 and I thought I had a Christmas present come early. To my disappointment, on Christmas morning, two days later, she was no longer holding. Well, at least I know I have males and females, and that they are mature. Two males continue to build nests. The biggest fish has the biggest nest, but I think that the smaller fish is showing the brighter colours at the moment. I update you with another picture. (Apologies for the size - I seem to have trouble shrinking it on this site). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corrosionjerry Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 Awesome looking fish! I like the simplicity of the tank setup.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punman Posted December 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 I really need to keep it simple. Cyps and featherfins need plenty of swimming space and a few boundaries (Rock Piles) for security and bower building separation for the Foai. These are not fish that dwell in caves or hide in rock crevices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
African_Fever Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 Great looking fish! Glad to hear that they're both doing so well for you, and showing so much colour already. Congrats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punman Posted December 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 I continue my saga or is it nursery story? (Working Title: Fee Fie FOAI Fum) - Yesterday another female was found holding so I snapped a picture. Last week a female held for only two days. Picture is posted below.
