Parachromis Freidrichstallii Pantanos de Centla

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
The male is probably 5.5 inches if I had to guess, no bigger. With the 2 remaining females tailing behind at about 4.5. not even a year yet, and they have been getting a spurt the past two months and getting thick. I do 80% weekly water changes
 
They’re spectacular! I’d expect to see some eggs in the not so distant future.
I hope. He holds down the middle of the tank while each female hold a side of the tank. Then I have the goofy vieja lol. They don't mess with each other and the vieja just does his own thing.
 
He’s beautiful! It’s a shame you had to remove his potential lady friend. What’s your plan for him?
Not sure. Right now he's in the 125 still and only comes out to eat. He's housed with a carpintis, JD and two thorichthys aureus. I have a small carpintis female I'm letting grow out a bit more to try and pair off with the larger male. Have a separate tank for that which is empty. I have another 125 with a chuco microphthalmus, synspilum, some firemouths, lyonsi and salvini that are growing out.

I've thought about rehoming the multifaciatus but then thought about keeping him and trying to source females. Idk what to do for now. As mentioned, I rarely see him only for food.
