Re: Pat's F2 Cuipeua/Altum Carnaton Growouts
Really looking forward to following this one along!
Such cool and different fish, right up my alley for sure!
Is there a story about your obtaining of them? Sounds like it was unexpected or a gift. Were these left overs or something new ryan will be importing and selling?
Re: Pat's F2 Cuipeua/Altum Carnaton Growouts
Thanks Phil, these were the last six Ryan had left of this strain and he offered me a sweet deal on them...and I took him up on it. So yes, it was unexpected but I couldn't say no. Enjoying them a lot.
Ryan would need to answer if this strain is one of Ricky normal offerings.

These guys are looking so good I couldn't resist a video today. At mark 45 sec in the vid there is a bow.

Very nice Pat, very nice.
Re: Pat's F2 Cuipeua/Altum Carnaton Growouts
That would mean our suspicions were correct about one or possibly both of those fish being females. ;)

Based on what I am seeing both of the red-based fish fighting in the video Ryan, they are both female.

So the two bowing in the video laid their first spawn last night. Of course I was away at the meeting so didn't see tubes etc. There were eggs all over the cone and appeared many had been eaten. All eggs gone as of this morning.

Silly question, so at this point you now have what would be considered a proven pair or????????
Sorry if it really is a stupid question, I'm just use to my lake vic cichlids and them being harem breeders.

Rob, a pair is not considered proven until they actually have wigglers on the cone. The only thing we know for sure is one of the fish is female. I can generally tell the gender based on the tube. No question is silly lol.

Providing one of them is a male Rob I doubt we will see anything soon as I think the male is too young...ie not fertile yet.
