Old wild freddy passes

[fishfarm]

My male breeder fredrichstalli passed over the weekend, Talked with Reagan today who gave me the pair about two years ago, turns out Rapps imported him in 1993 at 6", so he was a minumum of 16/17 years old. He was about 15-16" and weight at least a couple lbs. Amazing part was they spawned two weeks ago and I have a huge batch of fry, what a stud. Ken

sorry to hear about the loss. sounds like he lived a very long, full and happy life though.

damn, 15-16" got any pics of that stud?

 

[Citrinellus]

I didn't know they were capable of spawning at that age. Any chance of a few pics?

He was huge! Sorry that he is gone now, but atleast you can continue his legacy with his fry he left you. Do you have any pics of him?
