Shouldn't that also reflect in CB? And since polys come from so many habitats that seems a bit off as well...
I don't think that would reflect in CB. Assuming there is a normal ratio of males and females the males wouldn't have anywhere to go in captivity.
Another guess is maybe the males do as polyaddict said and/or fight to the death during mating season further diminishing their numbers...aaah who knows
What I meant to say is, what's the ratio looking like in CB fish? Poly's don't seem to be much of a territorial spawner, and maybe males are able to sort out a few ladies in a season. Loads of potential reasons
That im not sure, cause from what ive seen or read here that even when the eggs hatch the female always out number males, there was anothe discussion here that it has to do with water perimiters thats why females out number males, i forgot where that thread is.
Wow really interesting.
So just making sure I've covered my bases and since considering the one source I was using was wrong or at least less than accurate for my use, the aren't any lj species that could comfortably live in a 75 with uj and cichlids right?

That's tough to say. I mean CB endli may take forever to outgrow that tank but there really isn't a definitive correct answer.
I wouldn't put wc in a 75 but that may be just me.
Each individual grows different, one time i had 8 Cb endlis and three of them out grwe the other 5.
You might possibly find a semi-short or short bodied endli that might work but to me they just dont look right. Otherwise stick with your original plan of uppers.
Yeah. I think that's the smart thing. I just wanted to make sure. I'll stick with the UJ's that I have planned. You guys have been great.
