Tough decision????

At a LFS they have this sick pair of buffalo head's. And the guy said they already bred and you can keep the fry in the same tank. But that would mean i have to take out my old fish. I'm trying to breed some lamprologus ocellatus, but it's not turning out so well and i would have to take out my earth eater and my pleco

. What should i do!!!!!!

Don't buy sick fish unless you plan for them to die. Also, (even more importantly) don't get sick fish unless you can keep them separate from all your other fishes.

If those two things aren't met, or too difficult to do, then don't get them.

Hahaha. Sick.

Do whatever you want.

Maybe a different word would have been better when talking about fish coming from an LFS!

funny ! I knew exactly what he meant, but I totally understand why you'd think the opposite ...

either way, I'd say it would be cool to try the buffalo heads ... I don't have an appropriate set-up for that type of fish, but I think they are very interesting ...

well i bought the buffalo's and i have a lot of questions. Like what do they eat, what kind of breeders they are, how frequent do they breed, and how much fry they will produce. If anyone has any experience with breeding them please respond!
