My male Ps. williamsi north Makonde
« on: October 31, 2011, 09:46:54 PM »


Had a rough start with these guys.....ordered 5 but got six in the bag. One died on the way back across the state, another died the first week, 2 more casualties in the following few weeks. That left me with just 2 but they turned out to be a pair. Got 9 fry in the first batch and she's been holding a week now on her second round. Good thing the big boy doesn't get nasty with only one female!!!

I saw some adults at Preuss in late August. They wanted from $20-$40 each for them! That's why I usually start out with juvies and grow them up to breed from  ;)

That fish looks a lot nicer than the last time I saw it.  I am glad you were able to get a pair out of them.

Thanks for the fry. Will be keeping a little diary on them to keep track of their growth and such.

It was nice to meet you today. I hope the fry do well for you. I checked my records and I stripped them at 16 days on 10-23-11 so that will give you a starting point.
I'll get in touch when I have some of the Met. zebra gold Kawangas available. I've only got 15 right now ranging 1 1/2 to 2  1/2 weeks old.
