I thought the same thing. Seriosuly considering another order now for a few more petrics. Can finally breathe easy on tank stocking...
nice to hear the tank working out. these lil cats of yours. do the tangs mess eith them or do they just keep to themselves?
No they're left totally alone. They are also now the largest specimens in the tank (at ~3 in).
oh thats a good size. i cant load daves in the computer im using right now. would you mind telling me what he charges for them? cuz i just googled them and it said they are generally expensive
Not inexpensive. The lucipinnis (aka petricola) were $15 for the large and $19 for the large.
.00 ea
Petricola/lucipinnis are expensive because they're slow-growing fish. They generally require a couple years to reach sexual maturity, and about that much longer to reach full adult size. They can be bred in aquariums, but the eggs are tiny (about the size of a grain of sand) and so are the fry when they hatch. On the bright side, they will likely live for 10+ years.
Thanks austin... no bichir sure makes the stocking for the 90 gallon tall a heck-of-alot easier
Afro... should I order the cyps now? LOL
Whatever you do, don't order them from Reservestockcichlids.com. If you do and have a successful experience, let me know...
Thanks efors.... as I said, just had to commit to the new stock to precipitate the bichir's move LOL
