i wonder how much it is for me, maybe i can afford some of these after all

 

[voss345]

im placing an order in a week or two

Parrots are really shy until they hit about 6" in size from everything I've read - of course you could always half starve em' to force them out front begging for food all day like they do at the LFS

Just picked some up from Rapps a couple weeks ago, they do seem to hide alot. Your right about the shipping!

do you guys know the aggression towards otherfish on these guys?

i'm not sure if its them but i lost 2/5 of my tiny g. pindares. the first one lost one eye and when i woke up he was dead.

the 2nd one is on the verge of losing an eye also. looks to be hanging on but possibly gonna lose it.

i have 2 kept in a 20g with 5 really small geo's.

the hoplarchus is about 2.5" now and the pindares are barely getting to 1".

you might try moving them. I'm sure geos don't just lose eyeballs
