hi everyone
so since this is the only forum where i get answers quickly and the only one where members are actually concerned about ur questions.....i want to know if 30 F1 mpimbwe blue frontosa fry for @240$ + $50 shipping are a good deal. i had 8 burundi fronts that i sold for 500$ but they never spawned at all and a guy was begging me to have them since he knows ill be moving out of state soon. so i have a couple of questions regarding these fry.
#quick note# i bought my first breeding group from a local breeder of demasoni here in Georgia(usa). i bought 14 & have worked out well on a 40g breeder & about 6 months later i bought another breeding group of demasoni from another local breeder but he said he had mostly females so 2 males from my 1st breeding group would do my new group well. so i split all of them into 2 breeding groups and i have had 2 females spawn & i have 3 holding at the momement. so....back to the fry of mpimbwe.
1* how can you pros actually tell if they are f1s(i know wild caught have spot)?
2*should i split them into 3 10fish groups in 40G breeder tanks? or should i keep them all in my 75g breeder tank together till they get bigger.(im having a 135 built as we speak in texas)
3* what should i feed them?
4* how do i handle them once my box comes in? how do i acclimate them?tips & steps pls.
5* how can i control my fish addiction? im getting a house in texas with my gf(who you guys met before here-->Frontosa.com • View topic - self photo) with 3 bedrooms and its just me & her. master bedroom (with 2 tanks lol),a gaming room(we are ps3 call of duty gamers lol) with 3 tanks. and a 3rd room for my office & 5 tanks. and my main display tank(probably a 90g) will be in the living room. I LOVE THEM SO MUCH(quote from the first scene in the movie grandmas boy)
