Breeding L200s?

[WyldFya]

Currently I am stuck with 5 males, 1 likely female (fast fish, that hasn't been in one spot for more than a second. Even jumped out of the trap into the tank before I had a chance to look at it closely), 1 unknown. With this ratio, it is unlikely that I will have anything soon. Contrary to that, however, one of my males has been herding the unknown and likely female into the cave. Today while catching ramshorn snails I caught all three in the cave. Uncertain currently if anything is going on, but they are about to come out of a warm water conditioning. We shall see soon. I will also be getting a couple more large L200s soon, and hopefully all of those will be female.

Another death. The parasite that is in the tank, has claimed one of the large L200s. All of the other L200s seem to be fine, but this one succumbed to the parasite.

UPDATE!!!

Three more green phantoms on there way today. Will post pics tonight.

And I was thinking maybe you had turned to blues

 

[WyldFya]

Nope... but I only got one today. The rest were no shows, and one was DOA. I did however get 6 more frontosas, an L264, and a Juruenses.

One is better than none!

 

[WyldFya]

Yeah, but 12 Frontosa's are even better. They will soon be introduced to my 3 older fronts.

So then your total L200's is still at 6?

Male to female ratio still uncertain?

Been following this for awhile now, just curious.

My current count is down to only 3 L200s, and one L128. The latest L200 is a hifin, so that is helpful. All are too small to tell sex on now though.

Added another L128 to the group. He came in sickly, and covered in ich. He is doing quite well though. The ich has cleared up nearly completely. He has great colors, and is a brighter blue than my other. Unfortunately he is a little small.
