Never had a lot of luck with breeding while i see other members pumping out the fry.
I feed the trophs and cyphos a combo of NLS and Kens Flake but i think they are are missing something.

Add a little extra protein. Either shrimp mix, krill, mysis, or even chopped up raw shrimp.

Pro tip #1: don't feed for 4 days then power feed for 3. Makes them stronger.

[SunnyHouTX]

Stronger? Like able to move big rocks?

[SunnyHouTX]

Admit it dude, you got lazy feeding your fish LOL

Picked up 4m/4f, around 6" fully grown.

The smallest one bred the best for me. She held 26 frys to term.

I let her spit in the tank and had some loses due to other fish checking out the frys.

These are the same frys I "let someone keep for me" which he ended up selling. Which was not cool b/c they were my personal stock.

I think you should fatten her up and the tube should drop BIG. I sold some fry to bento also so maybe check with him if you want to get the numbers up.

Nice fish Sunny. They do look good in the mix.

I think that I would like a shot those fry when you get them. Keep me in mind.
