Congrats that great news

They look really cute. I'm off to find pics of L066 adults to know what they grow into!

good job Tadj with L066, gotta love it when you see fish you never knew you had, how about
all the other fish - playing the game yet?
Cheers J

hi mate the peps are breeding like crazy same goes for the wolf cichlids as well have a white jelly bean parrot male thats spawned with a female convict lol

Geez thats a weird combo- a white jelly bean parrot/convict. Once they are hybridised
maybe they just don't care who they spawn with
What are you going to do with fry , if you grow them out it would be kool to see
the foto's , or are you just going to throw the fry to the wolves.
Cheers J

Did you do anything particular to get the L066 breeding? Did you add current or anything else? I have 4 of the buggers now which will probably take until xmas or later to get old enough to breed but I would be quite interested in breeding these guys as well.

always happy to give advise to anyone cheers

Not actually sure on the age of mine. They're about 7cm approx. I expect they will need at least until xmas before they will be ready...

wait till there 9cm to 11cm thats normally the size they breed at

On closer inspection they are at least 8cm possibly approaching 9cm. I imagine by xmas I will put in a bit of effort to really get them going.

I have a small yellow object in my tank, about the size of the old plastic pin heads. I have some rasboras and zebra danios and a group of corys in the tank. All of these are too small to have eggs this size. It looks like a healtheries oil capsule only smaller. Could this possibly be a stray egg from my king tiger plecos? Its sitting unattended on the gravel and looks completely clear so not likely fertile.
