newb your lookin to get some more females for this group?

[newb]

hell yes!!! Im keepin those males btw...I thought about what you said, and I agree that they deserve to stay with the rest of their colony. thx again.

[geoff_tropheus]

Randall, these fish were aweseome fishes.

You are doing a great job with them. It is VERY uncommon for people to keep Petro's, even more uncommon for them to get established colonies of them.

Once you get those extra females, if not already, your going to have Petro Crazy fry for sale..

I cannot wait!!!

[newb]

too small still

[gotticgs]

that is pretty good !

what about the greens

[newb]

Just got finished properly venting these petros with the help of Geoff...he actually did all the venting. The results are as follows...

Total Males--4--different sizes, 9.25", 6.50",6.00", 6.75"

Total Females--7--different sizes, 6.25",6.00",6.00",5.50",7.00",6.875",6.50"

Total Maybe's--1--size, 7.00"(looks closer to female than male, but it was a close one)

Again, thanks Geoff for coming over to help me out with this. I will be adding 3...maybe 6, more females to this group after the beginning of the year, given that they are still available.

omg.
im dumb,
it took my comp a little while to load, and i didnt see it before i posted that.
disregard my stupid statement.
it looks tight!
i just removed the sand in my 75g.
i like it, it looks really clean and alot brighter.

[newb]

i thought all of the sand was out of the tank?

looks great none the less.

it is...? look at the video. the first one is a little old and the second one is after I removed the sand.

[newb]

right...I try and feed them 3x daily...thats plenty! I have seen the petros shake and bake like one time...I think the largest male is too big to really produce well...so Im thinking about selling him, so that one of the smaller males can step up.

[geoff_tropheus]

I think its good man, but you know me...

Your fish love you, now go and feed them...lol all that pacing back n forth, geez you would thinik they are starving..

Finally got some kind of picture or video posted!

Seems like the fishes are doing really good man. It's always good to see them schooling back and forth like that for food!

Any petro breeding action?
