Is this C.reticulatus?

Post by Caol_ila »

Hi!

I got these 2 beauties today. Both are around 6 cm. I am guessing reticulatus but the shopguy said "no way sth different". Any ideas?

Sorry for the blurry pixx...

Do i need more males to make em spawn or could i try a 1/1 setup?

You're on the money. They match the 12 reticulatus I got three weeks ago from Loren at BoxLotFish. Mine are thriving and hope your's do the same.
