What Happens When you IN with Rapps?

[---XR---]

nice but price makes me happy a local dude is breeding

that's the plan for myself aswell, from the looks of my 6 i may have 3 males and 3 females. so crossing my fingers.

these current guys are all F1, my hopeful F0 guys died last year.

a good male arrrived DOA- formerly rapps fish, delivered by someone else, and a gorgeus F0 female i grew from 1".

$230 :O I got 5 for $80 (shipped) last May. They were tiny though 1" or so.

Nice looking guys. How do you sex them? I've got three (started with 5) two that are 5" and one that's 3". No signs of breeding with mine.

All three of mine are much fatter than yours. Hope I don't have all females.

Anyone know if the ones Rapps has are from the spawns by Tom Lorenz of New Orleans? I'm assuming so, but really have no idea.

In with Rapps huh? Well, aren't you special!



Ha ha, just kidding. Great fish. I'll look forward to updates.

that was my assumption aswell, and i asked him this in a email but got no responce, so whatever. But he's the only captive breeder i know of so that must be it. These are not bred by rapps, he was offered these and sold them to myself.

Tom (acestro) was the shipper of the F0 male that arrived DOA.

i wish i had the pm's he gave me on how to sex them, because honestly i really don't remember, i do remember he said it was much more likely to have females than males, and one of the sexes ussally gets a definitive Redness on the body. (usless because i don't remember which).

As priceing goes- 1. rapps is expensive to begin with. 2.- rare fish. 3.- Larger sized than all others previously sold.

all but my F0 male came directly through rapps. the F0 female was part of his LAST import of them ever. shame she died. i may never see an F0 for sale again.

I do order alot, with him knowing i like True Gt's i guess he figured i'd be a really quick sale, and offered them before anyone else. on average this is about 1/3 of the money i spend on his fish a year.

After going and looking at mine I'd have to say I have 3 female. Which really sucks as I wanted a breeding pair or a show male.

None have the trailers like your male and they are all much more stocky/squat. If you don't mind I'll throw up a photo of them.
