Breeding l144 different age

Post by smartinlp »

Hi.
I got a group of 6 l144 growing up in one of my aquariums. They are about 7 cm now and all seem to be females. Im pretty sure now.
I got 2 grand old male L144 – 10 cm in a different aqurium. They might be about 4 years old.
I have been told that they have been breeding with other females for a couple of years ago.
Is it possible to breed with these males or should I go with similar size l144 males? It is possible for me to buy some other males similar size to the females I got. What should I do?

They should breed without any problems - no need for new males unless they are close relations
Lou: Every young man's fantasy is to have a three-way.
Jacob: Yeah not with another fu**!ng guy!
Lou: It's still a three-way!
