hmmm its been a while. no pics ever came? when will people learn? cepons last activity was 6/13 eleven days? i knew this was doomed when first came across this 5 min ago and i saw the title of the thread.... first thing that came to my mind was "uh oh, famous last words." if one of those fish dies or died its a flippin shame. both are nice fish espcially the original. i mean what kind of research can you do. own a solo one for a while. and watch his personality? then add a new one to with it and then to expect it to go well. first error i see is the 40 gallon. way too small. second error i see is only two fish. they arent dimorphic he just guessed which was male or female. there is no research into sexing these fish so he had to make a guess at them. maybe one is just older or kept in better water or fed better food. i hope i am wrong, but if it looks like it and it smells it....
 
Well, his signature says he was successful with this experiment. You can't call them a pair just because they have lived in the same tank for a short amount of time. Since they aren't dimorphic, I am curious to know how they are a confirmed male and female.

Hopefully we get a positive update pretty soon. That would be cool.

Well, cepon didn't post much before this thread as well... poked his head in a few threads now and then, just because he hasn't given us updates doesn't mean it failed.

He did give one picture of the two a few days in. if you read through the thread you may have seen it.

maybe it ended in a disaster, maybe it is still ongoing. not even sure if his end goal was to breed them but I am giving him the benefit of the doubt and am still curious as to the results whether it was a failure or not.
He doesn't owe us anything by posting updates every couple hours and extensive pictures it is just nice to see.

his sig just says a pair of brandtii, yea thats obvious from the pic and the point of the thread. he didn't confirm male and felmale they are not sexually dimorphic and i doubt they bread that fast.

i did read the WHOLE thread. and i didn't say that it definetly failed i am just guessing given the circumstantial evidence. no post in 2 weeks after promising pics asap.

yea i know he didn't post much but he was all over ohioentusiest's thread about cohabing 8 or however many brandtii. to be fair he said he would get pics up asap on 6/10 thats two weeks ago.

i didn't say he owes us jack. he doesnt. i hope he learned his lesson about trying this and separtated them while they were still alive.
 
lol well i hope everything went OK for him. It would be a breakthrough if it worked.
