female nangu frontosa holding

[piranha_guy_dan]

i moved my group from my 160 and removed a few extra males i have discovered that i had when i was mislead in my last sale. i was given 4/4 or 5/3 ratio. so took all the females and combined them with my other females and took my 2 bigger males and moved them all up stairs into my 110 gallon.

in my 160 they would get spooked like crazy when someone would walk by the tank even in the dark. when the room light would turn on they would freak and when someone would open the curtains they would flash all over.

so i finally got sick of it and friday sept 29th i moved them up into my bedroom where there is less stress and traffic. 2 days later 1 female was holding but i didnt see the actual breeding take place. then yesterday i got home from work and i caught them in the act again this time female #2.

so right now i have 2 females holding since i removed all those extra males i discovered. kind of ticks you off when you trust what people sell you and it turns out to be WAY off. buyer beware i know but its sad you cant trust anyone these days........ i wont name names. my first group i bought was bang on 2 males and 5 females but the second group of nangu i was extremely disappointed. i was trying to sell the entire group but no one will buy then with a 6:9 ratio and i wasnt even getting luck on trios. so i think i will just try and sell off a few of the spare nangu males and keep what group i have for breeding and then save some money from the fry and buy moba. i wanted to sell the whole group to buy moba but that wont be happening thanks to the wrong ratio making it unappealing to prospected buyers.

sorry i wont be posting pics of the holding females because last time i did that the female freaked out and swollowed the eggs. its not worth losing the eggs again. i will post pics of the eggs when i strip her.

thanks for reading
