Yes, she's a chunk...and she's been that way from the start, terrorizing the others, except for this male.
I've got 40-something tanks set up, plus a 625-gallon stock tank outside for the summer, so I should be able to manage. Eventually, I'll want to move this pair to a 90-gallon tank where I'm currently "growing out" some cobra pikes (which are getting just plain big, and need the 125).
Mr. F S ~ You must have wrigglers by now - hidden by the female - soon to appear as a cloud of fry - Congrats !!! Menezesi Pikes are some of the most beautious Sax group of Pikes, right up there with anthurus... We'll have to dig out some pics of our Men. male that won 3rd in class '06 ACA Chicago. Let us all know how it goes with the juvies--- put me on the list for some if you have a plethora of Pikes! WAy to GO!!!!!!!
yes, it's been amazing lately. My uaru pair have free-swimming fry, as do my F0 Amphilophus hogaboomorus...then there's the psittacus, F0 Caquetaia spectabilis, and Nandopsis haitiensis. Very busy spawning time...
