What is the predominant coloration when the pink and stripped breed?

Darn LOL

I dont think Africans work the same as SA/CA... but if they do then i am all over that LOL i would totally get a few more SA for my 35

Its weird though, BB is always almost on like all day LOL BB... where are you??

Tony G.

the females will spawn with other females!?!?!?!


weird...

all stripes for 2 spawns..then 2nd generation of their fry breeding, will get you 50/50 pinks

Even the gals pair and spawn?

Hmmm ... 4 female cons sounds interesting. Prehaps 2 pink and 2 stripped?

The pair was cute together though, lol

Tony G.

2 pink and 2 strpped make a good combo

c'mon! get the pair! LOL then you will have to raise all the babies and get more tanks for them so they will spawn with eachotehr and get even more tanks!!!

my pink and stripped females spawn constantly ..and chase the jelly cons away daily..but of course nothing ever comes of the eggs...i dont tell them or teach them the proper way (although I do have a male loose in the tank from a spawn i havent been able to catch!!)

If you get a nasty girl, 4 girls in a 20 is going to be problematic IMO, not to mention the strain on the bio filter when they reach adult size. JMO.

Well, I'm off!

I'll either go multiple females or get the pink and stripes pair.

harpua ... IF I got multiple females ... I'd likely go with 3 instead of 4. Though the possibility of aggression of course exists either way; agreed that 4 may tax the bio filter ... though I will be over-filtering as I always do.

I may be too late on this, but I would not recommend more than two females in a 20g. Your other option would be to get a pair. My females "guard" wherever they lay eggs, so that lets me know where the eggs are. However, if you constantly take out the eggs, the male will start trying to breed with the female once the eggs are gone. This can be very stressful on the female.

I have one pair of striped cons and two jellybean cons in a 55g. I've created lots of territories in the tank to keep the aggression to a minimum.

I also have a pair of striped in a 20g long, but my female had been by herself for a few months before I added the male, so I had to totally re-aquascape the tank for her to accept him. She tried to kill the first male I put in there with her.

If you get your cons from the same tank, that would decrease the chances of aggression. If you have two females, eggs, even unfertilized eggs, still kicks off the aggression.

I hope this helps and please keep us posted.
