Boulengerochromis microlepis grow out thread

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Do these die if they breed in aquarium as they do in the lake?
 
I'm only looking to keep three or four out of the ten so if anyone does want them I'd be willing to part part with the other 6 to 7
 
You are going to find that they will quickly out grow our 220 in no time. They need a huge tank 1000 gallons plus to really thrive. I had 2 in my 265 and they grew so fast and got very aggressive - they killed some larger predator haps that I had in there with them. I ended up trading them to a friend on this board who as some huge aquariums (arapaima). He had one in his 15000 gallon that was over 24". Once they get big you really cant keep a group as the dominate male will end up killing the rest of them.

Good Luck with them....
 
Oh the 220 is just a small grow out not there permanent tank obviously they get way to large for that to be there forever home. Lol that'd be like putting some pacus in a 55g and saying they'll be happy haha
