rahim101 Posted June 3, 2004 Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 I always start out by buying a large group of juvies, say 10-12, I like keeping 1:3 ratios. Wait till they they mature and weed out the ones you don't by placing an ad in the Bargin finder OR online here. Good Luck, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RD. Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 Ditto to what Rahim said, except I take any extras back to the LFS for a healthy sized store credit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albert_dao Posted August 16, 2004 Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 If your intent is to breed, you'll probably want something like 2:8-10. I'm stressing more then one male here in the case of accidental death. You don't want to be stuck with a bunch of females you can't breed.

Troy Posted August 18, 2004 Report Share Posted August 18, 2004 I agree I like groups of 10- 12 of each species (a very large female ratio). Depending on the aggression I try to keep two males. You could also keep an extra male in another small single tank, an all male tank or large community tank alone. This is also with the expectation that he will not be the dominant cichlid of the other tank and so long as he behaves ( low aggression) My extra males also go back to a LFS for credit.
