Me too, I can never wait. I have been growing out my brother's nyererei fry and they haven't grown much at all for almost a year topping at 1-2 inches. Slow growers.....

That's crazy slow!!! I was just trying to get more pics because he is really pretty red right now. He is all of a sudden today chasing the girls more and acting a little more aggressive in the tank. Do you think they could be thinking about spawning?

Oh crap!!! That's spawning behavior right there, when they spawn they get fire red. Get a video or pics. Good luck if they spawn.
I hope so!!! I have a tank all cycled, ready and waiting for holding females...I hope I get to use it soon.
Yes, he is beautiful!!! How big is he? I hope mine will look like him someday!!! Well, my guy is still chasing the girls and is swimming kinda restlessly all over the tank...He didn't used to do that. I have no experience with spawning so I really don't know what to watch for.

It's only around 3-4 inches I believe, I forgot what the owner said. I'm still waiting for the seller to reply back, so I am still waiting to purchase the kyoga flameback males. Your male seems like its spawning. Don't worry, it's normal to chase the females around when spawning comes around, just watch if he does any serious damage to them, which I doubt will happen. Get a video.

That is still bigger then mine!!! Hopefully that guy will get back to you soon. I don't like to have to wait for things. Tha's why I mostly buy directly from the LFS, luckily they have had pretty good selections of some "different fish". I may try online sometime just because I know there are somethings I will only be able to find online.
I prefer online, because alot of lfs, you can't trust at all. That's why I buy from reputable sellers online. 
Do you know where your lfs ordered the kyoga flamebacks from?
