goldenswimmers Posted February 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 Cheers Harris....I reckon the colours really came out on the big fella when he started getting the live food...plus its breeding time(the female is jet black) but they are both pretty dark anyways...i think there sexy as Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sarah1234 Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 I swear by live food for breeding any fish. Nothing compares. I feed all my breeding fish live with great success. Gorgeous jds btw, they will just keep getting better and better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How big are they? Cheers mate...male guy is getting close to 15cm and the female is porbably just over 10cm...I think there are some beautiful ones out there...and I'd keep these as display fish if they weren't breeding...the splits are sexy with all the blue mixing with the purple,etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Sarah...I thought the live food would be a big part of it...its more natural and seems to bring the colour out in most fish...and cant wait til they are full size...the female packs a nice full blue beard too...cant see it while shes in her ninja outfit!
