Green Fliers breeding again (video)

[dogofwar]

Not hard to breed at all - they hang their eggs from plants....generally good parents.

I've always thought that they look like a green or black rainbow cichlid. Kind of like a severum / rainbow cross

I think that their lack of popularity (whatever that means) is that they're a bit unusual to find at LFS and they don't really color up much until 2-3". Demand for them comes and goes but they're some of my favorites!

Well I don't think they look that much like convicts, especially in person. They have a very unique body shape.... Plus, cons are pretty popular

Are they hard to breed?

Are they hard to breed?

not at all. They're related to convicts, and cutteri, and breeding is much the same.

I got mine from dogowar and his dude is like the biggest flier on planet earth.

Wow. That's far prettier than a convict!

yeah in my opinion the dramatic color change from blue/gold/ a million shades of green to the black/grey/chartreuse highlights is one of the many things that make them so cool.

I have a pair of my original (wild) pair's kids (siblings to the ones in this thread). I haven't bred them in awhile since they're in a busy cichlid community...

I think that most of the 14 New World enthusiasts in the country NOT into umbees, dovii and red devils already got them from me already...or from Rapps
