Thai Silk questions?
- Thread starter terrors r us
- Start date
All my fish are growing out at the moment but when the time comes they will all be introduced together......to answer you question, anywhere from 3 to 6 inches....
that's what I'm hoping for if it's going to live with the likes of festae,motaguense,midas,etc..
It sounds like the 220gal with synspilums would not work..
I got them for $40.00 each at a small fish store...Big Al's had one a few months back and I think they wanted over $100.00....but Big Al's is always inflated!!!
These are the thai silk & creamcicle midas 
Hey Neil, I thought you might find me..lol...Don't worry I am still keeping my stock as pure as I can, if I do get a breeding pair, they will be seperated into a 50gal..(maybe I can sell some fry to offset the expensive cost of NLS..lol...
Here is the story...I have allot of fish that will be red or yellow when mature..example, in my 750gal there will be Red terrors,Red devils,Red mota's,Red pikes,etc...do you see where I am going with this...no Blue fish....I do have carpinte in my 600gal....
I was originally going to try some Umbie's, untill I saw Mel O's video where his large male Umbie killed a breeding pair of Festae...
Blue Dempseys are to fragile and many have defomaties so my options are limited....
I have had the shoulder spot cichlid in the past but that is green not blue,
so I decided to go with thai silk, these have allot of blue on them...I was really surprised....
I am still not finished my fish room and the fish are all growing out, so it will look better by summer time.....

Well Ivan, needless to say I was a bit shocked to see you buying FH. lol
Love the creamsicle citrinellus! If you ever make a trip south feel free to bag some of those cits up for me.
As far Thai Silk go, genetics wise you can end up with weak strains, just like EBJD.
See the past discussion below for more info.

While BA's prices seem high, a lot of the FH that I've seen them bring in over the past few years (mostly in cowtown) were pretty decent quality. Up here you really can't expect much in the way of quality for $40. Hopefully you got lucky with this group.
Happy Holidays!
