ok so i decided to order 3 of these guys, other person im going in on order with is calling rapps to put it in so i might have these guys saturday morning!!! im really hoping to end up with a pair but i guess only time will tell they will be in their own smaller tank to begin with (since my sens would make quick work of a 1.25-1.5in fish lol) but will hopefully grow fast and be able to go into the big tank soon:headbang2:headbang2:headbang2


Mine seem to be growing fast, but theyre still only 1.5-2". I have mine in a 36x15x12 with some small Istlanum. I was worried at first, but the Turqs are tough as old boots and rule the roost.


Good luck with yours Sarah, fingers crossed that you get a pair.:D
 
thanks jimmy! that good to hear that they are tough they are going to need it once they grow some and go into my larger tank lol, hey does anyone know if rapps is out of town or something as we cant seem to get a hold of him :(
 
Here's a photo of an adult breeder I had years ago. They are a fantastic species to keep.
