Took this pic this morning, now the lwanda was dominant male very nice looking i put Eureka in few days ago from him being in a tank by himself, yea Eureka is back to being in tank by himself again lol:

 

[Soaup]

Haha, Thats a great picture though. Poor Eureka. Went to war huh?

 

[Malawiandude]

yea i kinda saw it coming there's dozen fish in there but two other subdominant lwanda's including the wild went subdominant and F1 stepped up to dominant then put the eureka in tore the heck out of the lwanda, wish i could spank fish but dont wanna get the slammer for spanking the kids

 

[Soaup]

What are your plans on Eureka?

 

[fish_r_great]

You could always umm.. give it to me

 

[Soaup]

Haha yeah, What kinda of fish is the orange one on the left he is beautiful

 

[fish_r_great]

That is the Eureka I believe it is a type of Peacock.

 

[Soaup]

Yeah thats what i was thinking too bad its a peacock, beautiful fish. I would be able to fit her into my tank without wars of my own.

LOL i was planning on working with it breeding but still having trouble tracking down split females locally. I only have one albino female Eureka and well he would prolly kill her lol.

Yea it's Aulo. Eureka with albino gene part of the reason why he looks different then regular Eureka's.

I put him in 10g of his own i had him in 10g before but figured little bit cramped since was in there for month i was trying to see how good his finnage would grow out see if i should put him in the ACA next year. I moved him yesterday morning, down to with the lemon jake's tank, but in 8 hrs he tore up my dominant male Lemon jake! So he's back in 10g i never had problem before just recently but then again he was always in a show tank i recently tore down the show tank to make breeding groups and tanks...think he'll have to wait for a 55g for himself and females.

Sounds about right, male peacocks are natural enemies. Nice fish, they certainly deserve their own tanks!

 

[fish_r_great]

Does Brent have any female albino eurekas SS?

 

[Kajuki18]

R U sure that is an albino eureka because i really want to put that fish into my 55 gallon

Sorry took me so long to get back, my labtop been down at Sony getting repaired.

Fish, i dont think he has any big enough for my needs of 3" or so, but managed to get one split female and three more albino females so not have a 1m/5f group.


Ka, He is regular with the albino gene, their charatersitcs are different with that gene in coloration a bit..i think they look cooler with the gene then those without.



Both are in their own tanks now, male lwanda is looking faboulous i had to seperate him from his females as after they spawned(i will have lwanda red top fry for sale soon) i waited only 1 1/2weeks and put females back in since i stripped the fry, too soon he nearly killed a female so was on time out for two weeks in a 10g.
