Too cute!! You can see their little horns already developing! LOL Demasoni's are some of the most attractive fish, but I'm even afraid of them. LOL

Nice lol

Cool.

awesome

little demons cool Jeremy

A couple of them already look tough, lol.

Anyone, how many water changes do you guys do when growing out your fry? Just one time a week or more??

i do the 1 time a week

Thanks Tony, thats what I'm doing so far. What you think 20% or 30% is good right, or you think more?

i actually do about 30% once a week and on the 4th week i hight even do a 50%

I do almost just what you said Tony good to hear that. Thanks for the help Tony.

I forgot Tony how you doing almost good to go?

thanx Jeremy im gettin around, still pretty tender and no liftin yet but alot better than i was

YW, well thats good Tony, I don't think I could do that no lifting thing that has to be hard. The good thing is you should be getting free water changing service from you kids right? If I remember you do have some older kids right?

These are my fav species. My LFS never gets them. :(

nice shot of the lil buggers

LOL! Jim I thought someone els had Demasoni fry as well when I saw the picture on the side.

Thanks guys

Jim I live in Michigan.

Jeremy I am in Windsor Ontario

Thats not that far Jim I live in macomb Michigan Maybe 45mins north east of Detroit.

I will have more later on to. Gotta go, talk to you later on here Jim.

Are you teasing me? What are you looking for for a bunch of these guys?

What is a bunch Jim?

I don't care I hear these guys are best in colonies of 8 or more. These fry look great I would love some.

I have an add on kijiji.ca for windsor ontario add# 168433555 if you want to get a hold of me.

I have 4 on order for my 55 are they that bad in temperment.

Jim I can get a hold of you on here as well. You should start with a group of 12 or so. Jim we should let them grow out some.

Steph you should up that order if you still can to at least 10 total.

Jeremy i saw some at 2 to 3" the other day i need t clear out a tank waiting on one to finish cycling. they looked great i counted 20 of them so i hope they will still be there next week!

Thats cool you might also be able to sex them.

yup it would be cool. but what ratio?

I was told it don't matter if you get 12 or more.

cool

K Jeremy like a month or so? 12's fine thanks.

Rob see if they will hold 12 for you.

u read my mind maybe i can put some $ down ill see.

Ok Jim just remind me on here in a month or so , Jim they are slow grows so you know.

Rob just so you know I started with 12 and ended up with a group of 5. I am very lucky to have a successful breeding group of 5. This is very rare from what I am told. The breeder by me that I got them from has a group of 10. I am planning on adding to my group as time goes on, will ask my breeder first before I do.

Yeah same as SP.44's which I have an endless supply of.

thanks

Rob read up on them if you didn't yet and plan on putting lots and lots of rock in their tank.

Thats cool Jim do they do well with peacocks?

Jeremy I wouldn't add to a good thing. You may mess the situation up. There is a website where a guy tells a story of having a group and he added just one more which resulted in chaos. If I recall he ended up with only one left. I will try to find the reference.

Jim just read up on them and read they can get mean so thats all I needed to hear. lol!

http://www.african-cichlid.com/Demasoni.htm

is the website he ended up with two left both females

Cool thanks Jim I will check with my breeders as well but thanks for the good info. They are definately a challenge Jim you still want to get some. lol You are going to put them in their own tank right or no?

Yeah I intend to initially, but then I want to put them with some yellow labs in a 120 gallon I am building into a wall.

I had 2 labs in with mine. I took one in for a trade in they where both male thats why I took one out. They where fine in there and still have one in the tank with them. Thats cool putting one into the wall.

Cool I have a yellow lab colony which produces every month or so, its good to hear that they get along well. I have seen other peoples tanks and these two fish look good together.

Yes they do there might be a picture in mine if you look at them. Some people act like you can't put anything with them and thats not true I have 4 syno cats with mine 1 Lab yellow,1 Sciaenochromis fryeri and 1 Labidochromis sp. "Mbamba"
Yellow Fin Mbamba .

I should say it does take the right mix thats for sure. I also forgot Jim 1 Aulonocara Jacobfreibergi
Albino Eureka Red .

Jim also this is all in a 40gal .lol

Yeah I really agree with the overcrouding if you keep up with the water and filter changes and have good air. It stops males establishing territory and becoming defensive.
