been reading up on these guys a little, & in an honest discussion, it was mentioned about culling them to improve, or keep the stronger colors... Right now I only have one predatory fish, a 12 inch Bichir... I'm guessing he would suck these culls down as fast as I put them in the tank... ( not the only thing he would be eating ) about how many would it take to get a good breeding colony going??? sounds like 10 would be a good start??? I don't often see the grading of them, listed for sale on line... what are the classes ( I've seen "S" before )... if you start out with a good bright solid color for both the parents, do you end up having to cull half, more, or less than that, of babies from good color parents???... I read that they often don't get full color until nearing adult size... so how long would you have to raise babies to decide if they will be culls or breeders???
