Cheers,

That would be excellent Jool. I would really appreciate it.

Congratulations on the new addition. I have a breeding colony of 10 myself that are wilds. The love meaty food and lots of current

Tony, another question, in your experience at what size can you sex them? On this pair I notice one has a bit rounder nose and the other a bit pointier ...

Excellent Chuck, How are they doing as of now?
-Tony

It will be going into a 75 gallon for the foreseeable future, I currently have it stocked with 3 small (2") Ctenopoma acutirostre, and a breeding pair of convicts I will be moving out tonight. I would just put it into the 75 but I spent a lot of time trying to find those Ctenopoma so I don't want ...

No way would I add that L600, he would beat up all those smaller plecos and also he is a meat eater when the others are vegi eaters
-Tony

I personally would add him to the tank. Monitor it and see if it eats when you feed it. Look at the poop and see if it looks off or stringy etc. I would also keep the temps on the warmer side 82- to also speed up the metabolism and make the fish want to eat more frequently
Tony

Love them
-Tony

Yes, over the years from the linage they throw orange. i have a friend who has been line breeding them for years and have a ton of them that are orange instead of the normal red.
-Tony

lol, those old timers
-tony

A couple more got kicked out. I will more some L397's out of a fry saver and use for the L82's later today.... till them a jar with an air stone will work. The L397's egg sacks are just about gone anyways so works out well.

Take care,
Chuck



Congratulations, Chuck that is super exciting for ...

Woohoo that is awesome Chuck!!!
-Tony

That's awespme Chuck, any updates?
-Tony

They trapped for two days.... the third day I found them in separate caves. Guess they aren't ready for a serious relationship yet...... male is a good 1.5" smaller than the female and might be why they didn't go through with it??

Take care,
Chuck ...

Wow, those are super cool looking Eric, Good score
-Tony

Great job on finding fry
