MikeWs Fish Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 Got home from work today and my auroras bred (again) and my yellows (again). Get down to the bottom sets of tanks and find my Pseudotropheus elongatus 'Neon spot' or 'ruarwe' (we think) decided to breed! The biggest girl probably 6-7cm is swimming around with a monster MF. They have smallish mouths and elongated bodies, so id say around 12-18 fry out if it, if she holds. I'm very happy about that!! They were the only fish I hadn't spawned yet (well lets forget about BN ). I thought they were too young. Unforunately my Pulpican lupingus and little demasoni girl decided to swallow but it trade them for neon spot MF anyday!

Lepperfish Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 WOW! congrats Mike. Got pics of your complete setups? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeWs Fish Posted January 27, 2005 Author Share Posted January 27, 2005 Thanks Matey! I havent got the setups completely running so far. 5 of the tanks are still 'cycling' with 100% established aqauroum water lol and the sixth tank is a hospital tank (which needs to be drained) I used it for the lupingus when some of them came in. They were all sick from the 2nd source and some of them still arent 100 percent. Wheni turn on the big submercable pump and use all the plumbing I'll show some pics at the moment one of my walls looks like this X1 X2 X3 X4 X5 X6 X7 X8 X1 is a 3ft Electric yellow tank X2 is a 3ft fry tank X3 is a hospital tank (later on to be a fry tank) X4 is a acei 'ngara' tank X5 is a demasoni tank (2nd colony) X6 is a pulpican 'lupingu' tankk X7 is a (independant of the plumbing of the rest of the system) elongatus 'neon spot' tank X8 is a 3ft sump for X1-X6. I have other tanks including a BN colony an aurora colony and another demasoni colony. There a few other smaller fry/hospital/quarantine tanks.

MikeWs Fish Posted January 27, 2005 Author Share Posted January 27, 2005 Exellent - by the way, Nathan, Ive been watching the girl with the MF and she can colour up just like the males can. So girls can be black too. However, most of the time she is light grey. I saw her circling around another female and they were both black like the males.
