Surprisingly, my last try with cons didn't work out so well. I had 1 male to 3 females, and he beat the **** out of them. But finally, petsmart got their last shipment of cons for the year. I ended up buying a 2 1/2 inch male, and a 1 1/2 inched female. The two looked good at the store as they followed eachother around a little, and there was no fighting. After a few hours of being in my 20 long, alone. They have settled in quite nicely, and gobbled their new flake food greedily. They don't follow eachother sooo much, well, at least the female doesn't. They'll spred out a couple inches, but then the male will meet up to her, do a little gill flaring, and keep up with her. But after I brought them home, I noticed something I missed at petsmart. The male has downturned pectoral fins. And has to rest here and there. He seemed like the boss of the tank at petsmart, but he's a little slow. Will that pass on to his eventual children? I'm only looking to breed them for fun. Well...maybe a few of the fry will be feeders. But that's it. Others go in my 90 gallon pond for the summer.
Wow, I blab too much don't I? I'll keep it simple.
Question: Does this sound like a forming pair? If so, how long would you say until I have eggs? Any ideas on the males fins?
