They live in an 8 ft show tank that I would like to plant but they are rough on plants.They do live peacefully with other/smaller fish, and are approx 8-9 inches. They need a nice big home, which is more important than $$$. I would like some $$ but price is open for negotiation. Reply here or by PM and I am happy to bargain. Video of the big uns is on Youtube here...

Your video wasn't showing. Here's one that shows. ;) My pair are about the same size. I've never heard of a breeding pair of TFB though. Just a heads up, people usually give larger TFB away to good homes so good luck gettin' more than like 5$ for them ea. Besides that, good luck findin' them a home. They're really fun fish to keep. :)

Many thank yous, Jon M, for getting that pesky video to post. I do not expect any kind of big $$$ for my big fish, I do realize this, I just find that free pets often do not get cared for as well as pets that have even a nominal investment in their acquisition. As far as their breeding behavior... I would say every 3-5 weeks(usually after a heavy water change) they do serious side by side waggeling and flirting, followed by a good romp around the tank, then more side by side waggeling repeat- eventually the female provides everyone else in the tank with some nice fresh caviar...
