I got them as dither fish for my outside tank, but they breed to much, so it’s a happy coincidence!I got Variatus for the same reason myself. Free feeders ! They constantly give birth.
Looking good mate. My Senegal is super shy. Just ate his (maybe her looking at the anal fin size) first thing off the feeding tongs. Pushing 7 inches now. I’ll have to try worms off the tongs next feedOfficially naming this guy Kook. He is always moving around, and when he gets fed it’s the best thing to watch! Fed worms the other day and accidentally dropped in a full one. I go to pick it up and he is already there in his mouth. I let him have it and he eventually spit it out, but he certainly is a kook.
Edit: he also kicked up everything in the tank, as you can see in the first photo.
