Marble Cons

[straitjacketstar]

BamBam's getting bigger.

SMASH is not but he's still sexy.

and these two little ladies will grow on to continue their marbalicious line.
First once plays second fiddle. She's reserved and shy so pictures of this one are lacking.

This one's the more bullish outgoing one. She's making me really happy with the way she looks.

Any for sale? I am in love with them. You always have the nicest fish. I saw your post in the shell dweller tank thread, and my jaw dropped. You have done it again.

I love your marbles especially Smash. They are great-- are you able to keep both males together? If so, what size tank?

Thanks everyone!

lol, not breeding ATM. I'm growing the young females out to pair with the bigger males. They are all offspring of SMASH. I have some wild cons to infuse new blood to the line when necessary.
It's really a bummer actually. We've been wanting to move out for forever but life always gets in the way. I went through some drama and had to drastically downsize. Now I only have enough tanks to keep whatever I couldn't bear parting with. Hopefully soon we'll be able to get back into the nicer set-ups and breeding instead of just "holding tanks".

SMASH does seem to be the favorite.
I do Keep SMASH and BamBam together in an 80gallon tank (although last time I measured I think I estimated it closer to 90 gallons) with Hamilton (F1 barred midas), a red johanna, a wild female con and some catfish. Both boys play nice as they keep to their opposite ends of the tank, though they're always competeing over who gets the available lady in the tank. Hamilton has pretty much whatever space in the tank he wants (no one argues with him ) and the pink stays closer to the bottom-middle of the tank. Now much action in there besides SMASH and BamBam flaring at eachother.
