So I haven't been on here in sooo long, as an update I have:
- a 75gal with a 10inch Oscar lass named Veyron and a 9.5inch sailfin pleco
- a 40gal with all 4inch affys, 1 red zebra, 1 chailosi, 1 zebra obilquidens, 1 saulosi and 1 white tail acei
- a 10gal with a number of guppies
well, the Oscar used to have a mate which it nearly bred with - but the male got SO aggressive that I feared for the tank as well as the female! so she's all alone, but seems fine.
the affys have been happily living in the 40 no problems, barely a scuffle ever happens, and they're all in fine shape, which is surprising because I bought the obliquidens without remembering the lake differences. I bought them all as intended females, the white tailed acei was holding when I bought her and the babies grew up and I sold them but I found out soon the obliquidens was a male, it got the most fantastic colours!! but for all this time, I hadn't had any pregnancies since that acei they'd had the right conditions and everything, but I wasn't expecting it since they were the wrong lake!
but just today, my saulosi had the huuugest mouthful of eggs! seriously, I have NEVER seen that many eggs in a mouth, and I've had much larger fish holding! she's barely able to close her mouth i'm so happy! I've just done a water change and she still has them all in there!
we'll see how this goes! of course i'll keep them, they're mixed breed, so I can't sell them, but i'm excited!
sorry the pics are horrific quality, but it's late and she's quick!
