Fish Junkie Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 Are they white or the ones with stripes ? Both females will get a red to orange on the belly And believe it or not the small ones are not far off breeding size Lay a clay pot on its side and feed some bloodworms if you have a pair they will breed FJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
