nice effort there jonny..

twist mate i might be getting 3 or 4 but still not a 100% (about 95%)

let me know and gett them all sdhipped at the same time maybe?


i have a small thick plastic pool just over 4m in diamiter and 3/4 m high that i am thinking of changing to a cichlid pool.
had a thought that i might buy some keep a male and female and try to breed them.... would be the most waesome thing to spawn!!!

just out of interest do you have sufficient room for when they get older twist??
ive heard (and seen (video)) that they can get to almost 2.5 feet?? magnificant

[kuhni]

oo nice, would need heating though wouldn't it?

[kuhni]

real tankbusters are gulper catfish and pacman catfish, as well as your anglerfishes. Eating stuff bigger than you is where it's at.

[*S*T*A*R*S*]
