How many Limas have you kept at once?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
all from LFS. 2 from one place a few weeks ago and then the other 3 from a different place last weekend. 2 of the new ones are still being stubborn and wont eat.
 
ahh just noticed ur from CT. the first place was realm of pets in southington and the other was waterbury aquarium.
 
Thats cool. I've been meaning to check out realm of pets, but haven't yet. Any good?
 
they have been remodeling the place for a while and its just starting to look better. They dont really have a fresh selection but have a good marine and coral/reef selection. Hopefully once the remodeling is done they will get a good fresh.

At one time, about 7 years ago, I had a group of 4 with a bunch of cichlids. There are two in this pic(both obscured by the oscar). The largest, about 17", was a definite female, she would lay eggs a couple times a year. No one ever joined her side in the breeding though, the other three ranged from 13-15". I would guess they need to be full grown to reach sexual maturity.
