Pic doesnt really do his/her colors justice - hard to get him staying still.

Very unusual, I like the bars on it. Don't know about this type.

Similar family to Convicts I think - they get a nice powder blue color w/ yellow and red. I am going to set up a breeding tank for these soon, in a 29gal tank that I have. Getting a breeding pair as soon as I put the tank in its final resting place (the wall) :)

Christie, did you see my birthday wish last night?

Tankmates hate him - I think because he's cool looking and they are jealous.

Lol Frank, he is cool looking. Wish he would stay still, would like to see his colors that you mentioned.

Tell me about it .. I'm thinking of setting up the camera to just keep snapping, and just set the camera near his favorite place and walk away... check it 10 minutes later and see what we get. Plus, new camera, so I'm still getting used to settings :)

Cool! What kind of camera did you get?
Frank Donato » posted 2008/03/12 - 05:16  
Had a Kodak Easyshare 2740 .. Christine just got a SONY DSC-S700 for christmas, but I dont really know how to use it yet. Kodaks batteries are dead :)

LOL that's kind of funny Frank. I went from a Kodak Z760 to a Sony DSC H9. Does the S700 also have the ability to take pics in infra red?

i have seen this species around, but i have never heard much about them, what is the temperment like? How large do they normally get?
karrie edwards » posted 2008/03/12 - 07:56
I guess they would be like the convict?

Chuck, I will have more Cutteris soon - picking up a breeding pair, almost done getting the tank ready :) If all works out and I get fry, you are more than welcome to some.

Karrie,

Seem to be fiesty, but not as bully-ish as convicts. Max size of 5" or so.

where are you frank?
Frank Donato » posted 2008/03/13 - 15:04  
New York. You? I think Canada right? If so, are you near Quebec city by any chance?
THE chuck » posted 2008/03/13 - 22:03  
near montreal..3 hrs drive from quebec city..why?
Frank Donato » posted 2008/03/14 - 02:34  
My brother in law has a condo in Quebec city, and he is there every other month or so. If you wanted Cutteri fry, I could send them up wtih him.

Tank is going in the wall hopefully sometime this week - and fish probably next week. They are a breeding pair, so hopefully I will have a spawn within a month from now. :)
