Nice blaze on him, really bright.

I would like to get some of these and breed them. also would like it to look like a nice tank, not just a breeder tank. What size tank do you think would be good for this? also would like to put a few other fish in it that would get along but that would not cross breed. I dont need to get a ton of fry but would just like to breed them a little. Would a breeder tank be good and what size?

I am asking about Otopharynx lithobates I thought this was one.

copadichromis mloto likoma would probably cross breed with the Otopharynx lithobates right? They look a lot alike.

any help for me?

no this is the lkoma he will go from this 80gal communtity to the 80gall breeder tank,this fish is no cross or anything to do with a otopharynx, i lost his F1 parents this past summer in a heater accident,look these fish up theyare beautiful look one up,he just stared geeting dark now his blaze(stripe) will start getting much bigger maybe even a 1/3 of his body again do a google search on this fish you will see

and yes as with most of these guys they will cross with almost any of the haps,peacocks

No, I was not saying yours was a cross.

Jeremy they will breed in a 55, as you know though especially with these guys bigger is better,ive had mor of these specific fish over the years that any other,this is one fish i might jught might be as familiar with as even Vince is,always been my favorite especially when all colored up and didnt take pics back when i had hid dad or i could show you,by the wat when i get babys you pay shipping and ill send you 2 or 3 this is a great strain and only an F2 so there good for a few rounds

oh i know that Jeremy

Cool!!! I would like that a lot. Thanks, what other fish can you and should you put in with them.

Do they make a 55gal breeder tank?

not when breeding them, after you have some to put in a show tank. what other fish can you and should you put in with them.

right now him and his girlfriend are in with ironically a lithbates ,mbeji,red shoulder, rubun red,eureka a couple of obs,they actually pretty well mannored until they start breeding of course,one bummer with these they seam to have to be the dominate fish to get fully colored.did you have time to google the?ccheck the Ad Konings pic if you havent already i would post the pic but we cant do that on here and im prob still in troub as it is

Is that the pic of the sick cats?
