The fry I posted are from his stock...We feel the same way about them...hence the breeding effort.
ill try to get my hands on some for a spare tank to grow out in.
 
Mine are from Tom Lorenz as well. I'd be happy with a show male. Not enough time, effort, or tank space to try to breed right now.

If everyone who bought them from him try to breed there is going to be a glutton of true GT's in about a year and a half, which will really knock their price down.
 
When the True GT starts to take off, there will be a bunch of irresponible non-caring people hybirdizing them with Orange and White Saums. After a few years, the situation with this fish could easily be like the Red Devil/Midas or Trimac/FH issue. But...I still say let's bring it back though. :headbang2
 
i think we should make an organisation or ban hybrided true GT,s
 
You just have to be careful....as far as prices go..thats NOT one of my concerns. I have no intrest in doing it to make a wadd of cash. In fact I would much rather sell the babies to other breeders.

If you want to combat the hybridization you'll need a species regestry...(much like the akc in canines.) This would in no way be a policing group but rather a true regestry to keep track of all the true green terrors from known stock. Of course this would work for any other species as well. You'll never be able to stop the quick buck artests but fortunatly the TGT is easilly identifyable when compared to a saum.
 
I was referring to prospective buyers with the price drop, which would be good for them.

I don't see these guys hybridizing readily. It may not be an issue.
 
i just think the true GT is so much nicer though.
 
Well...mine are growing like weeds and doing well. It looks as if I have 3 males and 5 females. hopefully, in time, We'll be able to offer the babies for sale here on MFK along with our Red Jewels and syndonis petricola.

thats cool you should get 3 pairs out of that so its then just a case of getting the other tanks.
