Like a pair of convicts here! I thought they gained secual maturity at 5-6". Guess I want OWNED.

What? Congrats Balton! I've never seen trimacs barred like that but I've never seen breeding trimacs either!
 
that's awesome man
what a great site to see
keep us updated on them.
it's really refreshing to see some true trimacs
i think we should sticky this as a reference to all those questions about petsmart 'trimacs' or FHs... this should clear things up

This morning they're guarding eggs!!! My Trimacs are only 3 INCHES!!!!

Well done!
I am jealous, Balton! My tri's are much larger than yours but so far they haven't spawned. I guess it has to do with the fact that male is much smaller right now (3", as opposed to female at ~6"), hopefully that will change in the coming months.
 
I had a pair roughly 2 1/2" breed and got several grow out for several months in a row. Lots were misshapen so they mostly were feeders. But I have seen it with my own two eyes. As far as the wife thing goes if you have space put it under a tank you already have setup that way it don't take up any more floor space. That's how i get around the grow out tank thing, just shove one under another.:ROFL::ROFL::ROFL: Nice pair.

My wet/dry and Fluval FX5's take up the entire space underneath my tanks.
