Nice pair and tank! I absolutly love how the pectoral fins on the female go black when in breeding dress.

Thanks!!!! I am Really proud of this pair, I was about to sell them awhile back but the buyer backed out at the last second , to be honest I am glad he did because I have decided to keep them, I wish that my Point and Shoot would show their true color and the pearls on this male is Unreal, I haven't seen many fish that I thought could produce faster then convicts ... I can get these to spawn as fast as every 2 weeks! I try not to but just sayin I can.

TO be honest I wsih they would slow down on their spawning so they would pack on some more growth.


These are fed 2 times a day


am- night crawlers, wax worms, grass hoppers, frozen peas ( all of which I buy online in bulk, much cheaper ) ( I only feed 3 items from the list each day )
pm- hikari carni sticks, massivore, tilapia shrimp,scallops, frozen peas, spirl. sticks, thinking about giving NLS a try but not sure which kind to get ( I feed 3 items on the list each day same as the am) my thinking is they don't get tired of eating the same thing everyday and by feeding a few different items each day keeps them excited and ready to eat and by feeding live worms, wax worms , grass hoppers it gives them as much of a wild diet as I can provide , maybe thats why they can breed so often ?

Great looking pair!!! That male is a stunner:) keep up the good work. I'm glad you kept this pair. You have an unrelated f1 pair!! In my mind, this is just as good as wild.

Thanks bro!, I knew you would like them .
I am for sure keeping this pair for sure , they have the looks, they breed anytime I want them too and the male glass bangs any time I get to close to the tank haha
