These are by far my favorite cichlids of all time. But they are so hard to come by and i want to start a breeding progtram so i figured what better way to do so than to breed a fish that is rather rare or scarce in the lfs.

never heard of bumble bee oscars sound cool no i hv never heard of anyone breeding these guys they are also my fav fish and i hv 3 right now they are full of personality and i like them much better then frontosas which is wat most ppl confuse them for but if you do your research im sure you will get the hang of it

Good luck to you with your tang tanks. They are fun.

Thanks for the info on the breeder baskets. I have since made my own, better then the store bought ones. Found plans on Aquabid.com (highly recomended for all stuff fishy). Look under breeding supplies, you can find and learn all kinds of stuff.
