i need some help and guideance!

Postby nixer » Mon Jan 18, 2010 10:51 am

while out a friend of mine was watching over my fish and i had 3 tanks when for some reason the fish were moved and are now mixed.

the only ones that i cant tell yet are my Mbipia Lutea and Xystichromis phytophagus. these are not adult fish and im sure i got my 2 male fulus out but i cant seem to tell between females :(

i have some ideas, but i need to be sure.
also does anyone know for sure if these 2 species could spawn together because i dont want hybrids i want 100% pure

Hi Almost all the species can cross breed, the manner to be sure to not see this is to house species with very different morphologies and color pattern in the same tank.
xris :D
