INTRODUCING my BABY NEETS

[Cyberman]

I picked up about 50 or so Baby Neetroplus nematopus last weekend and I'm hoping to get some breeding pairs out of them. They're only about half an inch long at the moment. I'm informed they're about 7 weeks old.

Had these guys for a little over 2 weeks now and they seem to be growing well on a diet of chopped frozen bloodworms and brine shrimps.

That's pretty impressive growth for 2 weeks, lookin good!

Great pickup...such cool little fish, never seen them for sale at any local retailer

So under appreciated, goodluck with them. I hear they can be feisty little buggers

Yeah I love this very under-rated cichlids... and yes they are very fiesty... they make Convicts look like Keyhole cichlids

Good luck growing out the group. Make sure to give them plenty of room and hiding spots. I had troubles keeping a group alive when the dominant male decided to start picking on others. Twice, I ended up with just the dominant males.

@ Cichlidholics Anonymous - Check with Dogofwar. He has a breeding pair with fry.

The plan is to spread 20 of them around my various tanks and sell the rest. They'll be mixing with Istlanum, salvini, Festae, Convicts and Synspillum... I won't be mixing them with the Firemouths as they tend to like nipping their fins.
