[myjohnson]

Hey Thai,
Nice Color,Good Photos and Good to see that they have settled in and established the pecking order.... without too many loses....
Is that Famula 'BLUE FIN' in the background of one of the photos ?

They are famula with collection point at Chimba. I don't go by other trade names.

What size tank do you have the Macros in....

1x 7''; 3 x 6''; 2 x 5''; 3 x 4''

Yeah that Krill thing thing kind of works... I first had the same problem with my Blue Giants....
Waiting to see the first spawn......
Take care...
Frank

You just got to get those BGs fat!

They will breed for you.

Thanks guys....but I got good news and bad news.

Bad news: lost another female....5''. This was the one that didn't eat anything but bits of the krill. She gave up on Wednesday I think.

Good news: everyone left is active and eating either kill, shrimp mix, flakes, or pellets.

Seems like the rest will make it.

finally ratio looks to be 2m:7f.

Here are some update pictures

5" female...eating krill and mix.



6'' sub male...eating everything and anything.



7'' male...eating krill and shrimp mix. dude runs the whole tank.



6'' sub dom male again.



Different 5'' female...only eating Krill and some shrimp mix.

NIce pics man. That sucks that the tank deal fell through (if I read that right). I thought for a minute you were gonna join the Frontosa club....oh well, I'm sure you'll own it in the "Petro World". LOL.

[madugo]

You know you want to sell some tropheus off and keep more petros.

You also need to take pictures of that VERY NICE fish room you have Sir!

Damn - those are some sweet looking macros.

What kind of lighting are you using in that tank?

[myjohnson]

Thanks Gene!

I wanted to get more of these and move them to my "soon to be" 300g+ tank but that deal didn't work out.

So now I'm still on the hunt for a tank.
