3 hiolding africans.

We added the red empress male to the mix and all the other males went nuts. We have 2 male acei for sure now, saw them both breed at the same time and the cobalt zebras did the deed too. By the time they are ready to spit...the 1st 2 batches will be able to sell. Otherwise we are going have more tanks of fry all around.

Here's some pix of breeding mode and one acei holding.

Congratulations!!
How long does it take for them to be big enough to sell?

Allie · April 9th, 2008

Stores usually take them at an inch or a bit bigger. Just over a month or so.

That's good they grow so fast! At the rate your fish are breeding, you'll need to get rid of them that quickly in order to make room for the new babies!!
