African_Fever Posted April 11, 2005 Report Share Posted April 11, 2005 They're an interesting fish to strip, if you decide to go that way. I was always amazed at how wide their mouths actually are and how big they are. What variant do you have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for what variant i have, i'm not to sure he is Blue with a red top and she is kinda brown with a orange top Should i move her to a different tank or just wait a couple weeks?

Vallisneria Posted April 11, 2005 Report Share Posted April 11, 2005 I usually wait 2 weeks before moving the female(unless she is getting picked on). That way you are sure she is holding and not going to swallow the eggs. No point in stressing a female out by catching and moving her if she isn't going to hold to term. If this is the first tiem your female has bred she might swallow, sometimes it takes a couple tries before they hold to term. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
