JORG Posted April 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 (edited) any fry for sale, how big? I have 4 adults available ..1 breeding pair , 1 male and another I think is a female. They are all about 9-12 inches now. I need the tank they are in to grow out a group of Cichlasoma ornatum I got a while ago.

A couple beautiful specimens you have there. Yeah I can't really capture their true colours with the camera ..but they are looking good. The female is getting redder with every spawn.

JORG Posted April 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 Thanks but I'm looking for fry to put with my festae and ornatum growouts Where did you score your Ornatums from ? It took me a long time to find the ones I got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pikeaholic Posted August 8, 2015 Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 Thanks but I'm looking for fry to put with my festae and ornatum growouts Where did you score your Ornatums from ? It took me a long time to find the ones I got. I got them from the states, I realize now that these are much more aggressive than their festae cousins, I now ended up with two males and one female pushing 6 inches, they kill each other until only a pair is left. Festea's attack in spurts but these guys are different. I have a male (Ornantum in a 750 gallon tank and he kept fighting a male Parachromis Motaguense (same size), you would think the tank would be big enough to avoid fighting, well I know what damage a male Mota can do so I pulled out the mota.
