Guest SFJ Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 Hey mate. Your related to Corey hey? I work with him. Just don't mention the shop name on here. Looks like you got a nice male riv breed them, piss easy to breed and sell quite easily Same with blue acaras. Even sevrums Or if you could get your hands on a real good looking pair of syspillum would a good start. Cheers Sam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yodapwnsasmurf Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 Yeah mate, I'd go Rivs, very nice fish and yeah, as SFJ says, they are easy as anything to start off with! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrayonBox Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 i found SGT pretty easy to breed. Mine breed in a ship ornament, makes it such a pain though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benno22 Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 I agree aswell...From the fish I have bred over the last few years Green Terrors are pretty easy...They are very good parents too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Sam , I'm Corey's sisters boyfriend I live with him, also believe it or not that riv is female she is a stunner , was thinking either jags , rivs or Sgt Are jags difficult to breed ?

CrayonBox Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 sean it might help if you let us know how big the tank is going to be? or do you plan to buy a tank to suit the fish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yodapwnsasmurf Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 Jags aren't hard, but they need space, and a lot of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yodapwnsasmurf Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 You could probably get away with a small jag pair in one of those tanks, I'd go for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrayonBox Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 shouldnt have a problem with keeping small jags in one, rivs in the other, and something else in the third since hes got 3 5fts. I'm totally jealous btw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott95 Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 for attitude and the whole wrap i would go for viejas, go for some of the harder to get varietys, and try to source some 'true' viejas. you could go melanurus, synspillus, zonatum or paratheraps coatzacoalcos just do whatever you want.

floppingflamingos Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 Yeah Viejas are all well and good, most of em are ugly as sin as juveniles though. You will always find the prettier the juvenile the more luck you will have selling especially to a lfs. Texas Cubans Rivulatus Even rainbow cichlids. Gold Severums. < if I were you I would breed these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrayonBox Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 if your going to breed gold severums, try and find fish that have as many orange spots on them as you can find. generally speaking it means they have better blood lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harris. Posted May 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 If I can't get a jag pair, I was thinking Sgt , are Sgt pairs easy to get ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRNOS Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 If you want sgt's I've got a small pair here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azedenkae Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 SGTs are damn nice to have. ) They're very, very, very pretty. Not sure about how hard they're to get down the coast, but up in Brisbane it's not that hard. Bidkev is someone you may want to ask. Then again MRNOS has a pair and he's at the coast so he's probably a better choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrayonBox Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 They pretty easy to get and they pair pretty easy as well. My 15cm male paired with my 6cm female like a day after i put her in. And they have already started breeding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
