killiguy Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 To get the colour its important to feed them foods with lots of orange pigment esp BBS when small then something like Tetrabits,I used to breed them for Bayfish and this created intensely coloured fry.Watch the parents as Ive had a couple of pairs split and the female was killed by the male.I always let the female raise the fry,they tend to grow faster,as long as they are in a large tank.Split them up when you want another batch of fry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
