Here are some pictures of my "local" chanchitos from Cañada El Local, Valentines, Uruguay.

They're hard to see but they're tending fry. The bigger one is the male.

I have two pairs and some extra ladies.

The extra females (which are in their own tank) actually go through the motions of breeding....pairing off, laying eggs, guarding the eggs, etc.

Here are some pics of my other pair in breeding dress.

:drool: Will you ship some fry? I'll send you the bags to do it! Super easy.... I'm interested for sure! (Please say yes!)
 
I need one of your extra ladies, I have a male, be interested in all of the fry too. Looks like the new male worked out for you. Ken

Yes - give me a couple months for grow out and I can ship.

Just PM me and we can work out the details...

Sweet! I've had the best luck shipping at 3/4"-1" and actually slightly smaller! You can fit more in a bag (Breather Bags). Thanks.... I'll have to keep your i.d. We can swap for RTM or Dovii fry?
