Wingin' It Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 Keep 'em in groups of 6 or more and IMO, the females of Cyps and Paracyps look too much alike to be kept together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burbot Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 Good idea. Like peacocks, the females are hard to tell apart if you don't know them really well and the will interbreed which is the last thing you want. What species are you keeping?

jvision Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 My Paracyp females are pink, and the Cyp females are grey. Their eyes are different colors, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
