Funky_Fish14 Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 Nice! You pick those up from that... 'larger store' in Edmonton? Or did you order them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syno321 Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 If you're lucky enough to get a pair and they spawn... they get absolutely stunning! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pengu Posted June 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 I order them from tnt aquatica. The pics of them in breeding dress is what got me excited on them, i wasn't expecting to see the black and white till they were larger.

pengu Posted October 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 Very nice fish....probably my favorite actualy. I had a few of them myself. How are they doing?...no problem with bloat yet? hey thanks for taking a interest i do like them so far had some problems with aggression when a pair formed. lost three due to aggression now i'm left with what i think to be two males one female no bloat yet i never kept this breed before my understanding is that the should reach 6-8", so far seem like slow growers sorry for the crappy pic just took it today quick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pengu Posted November 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 had a death from bloat today, i screwed up a water change the digital thermometer i was using got off calibration by 15f or so colder, so when i filled my tank a week ago i dropped the temp almost 10f. i have read that a sudden change in temp can cause bloat , i noticed it two days ago and started adding salt but it was dead today. so i lost the largest male now all i have is one male ,one female out of the six i started with. hope to keep a pair the 60g tank is looking empty with just them and 4 little salvini's i'm growing out from a spawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
