Hello all,
After about a year hyatis I have gotten another FH. I have had several in the past. Every senerio from big male show peices to breeding pairs and my queston is what water qualitys should they have. Mainly PH and hardness. The reason i'm asking is for some reason the old addage of their just central american crosses is not holding true in my LFS. I know I should go with my gut but I wanted to ask some other FH keepers. Thanks all and here are some past FH photos that I have with new ones of the newest FH to follow in a few days when he gets to his final tank. A big old 125 gallon with 3 AC 500/110's on it and weekly 75% water changes and rainbows to chase for a while atleast.
1st 2 pics are of my big, 11", Female, at baby size, that is living with a freind and his male in texas, the 3 rd pic is of a pair i owned for a short time, and they bred at 2 1/2 " the first time, Pic4 is of the same fish in pic 1 and 2 pic at around 7", pic 5 and 7 are of a nice male I had from 2" until it was 8" he got a bubble in his eye at about 6" and it wouldn't go away, and last but not least pic 6 is of the same female from pic 1, 2, and 4 just at her final coloring she was about 10 months old in this pic and 10".
Hope you enjoy and any answers on the water values would be great. also pics of the newb FH will be coming shortly. like in the coming days.
Thanks David
