F1 Pearsi

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
warning - they are poop champs! Especially you feed them exclusively veggie ;)

These might be the offspring of a wild breeding pair I got from Eddie this summer. I traveled for three weeks and lost both of them with my wife taking care of them :(

Sorry to hear that, I imagine these are the offspring of your pair.
 
Not really. I have noticed from a lot of pics the females seem to be more bland with less barring along the body. Mine has a lot of barring and is getting streamers off his dorsal fin. I would try to vent them when they get larger or just wait until they hit 5-6" and let them tell you. Below is a pic of my Pearsi.

appreciate your input, the plan is to try and get a pair out of these four. I know it is way early but do you have any experience with sexing these fish?

Great pickup and good luck with them. They are an awesome sp. to keep mine are very outgoing. Here's a pic of my male, around 12".
