brichardi! and hey you can take some off my hands for free. they will kill anything in the tank once they get breeding!! . im right next door to westgate if that helps make up your mind! haha
My son has some Brichardi also available. They are very tiny. He has 2 pairs that breed in his community tank, that he has his Peacocks, Calvus, and a few Vics.
Are Brichardi the African equivalent of Convicts when it comes to breeding? :laughhard:
People cant give them away...
I might use my 29 to grow out some bristlenose plecos. I have 3 regular and 3 albino in my 120g right now. I want a nice male to add to the 210g but they need some size on them or else they will become food! ig:
They are worse than Convicts. The fry from the spawn, and other Brichardi will protect the fry. You can tell in my son's tank 3 different spawns by the same parents, all co-existing. So the parents just keep pumping them out.
IMO in a smaller tank the parents tend to kill em off when they reach a certain size.. something about dominance or something like that. i just enjoy watching the colony aspect go down. either way they end up being pretty fish that you dont have to drive far to pick up or pay for. up to you either way.
My son would disagree with you if he were on. The parents, older bros and sisses, all spawns help protect the colony. No eating. They continue to protect, pair up, spawn, just to make the colony larger and stronger. Everyone protects the colony.
not in mine at least. the parents will randomly wipe out the offspring as they hit a certain size or sex. seen em swimming around with half a spine sticking out of their mouths on more then one occasion. maybe mine r just jerks.
I have water in the 29g and getting the heater set at this point. Factory setting seems high, for a new 100 watt I keep having to turn the thing down. So as soon as that is set the bristlenose plecos go in. :cheers:
And I have decided that the 120g will go... I did get the big tank I always wanted so I will sell it to help with some bills like I told my wife I would.
Still dont know what I want to do with the 29g on a permanent basis. :scratch:
