DeadFishFloating Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 you give nothing to go on so uh..... why not maybe eating guppies will make them grow faster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MightyMash Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 Wouldnt do it mate. Unless you want them to become food... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kasman Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 venustus smaller than guppies = yes venustus bigger than guppies = no Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jyeberghofer Posted August 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 Thanks, however i dont have a tank for them, so can i just leave them in a large, 20cm x 15 x 10 breeding net in my cichlid tank for a week or so till they get to around the 5 cm mark.

Ozzy_Oscarz Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 They need to swim to grow bud..so I doubt that they will get much bigger in a week in a frysaver, Like Kasman said put em wit ur gupps if there smaller. I have 4 cm demasoni,maingano and crabro in with 15cm dolphins and 10cm fronnies..... just give them enough spots to hide as in Cichlid rock and Lava rock and they should be fine in with ur bigger Africans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayPee Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 I've just looked back through your previous threads. Now I'm confused. How many tanks do you have ?? 1 or 3. If you have venustus you can't house don't leave them in a net bring them to my house and i will buy them (if the price is right) and they can live happily here. =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tutters187 Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 I had a Molly grow up with 30+ peacock fry since they were all mm's in size until the Molly outgrew the peacocks and started picking on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
