I use 4 gallons x fish for breeding but is not a gold rule

Spencer you talking about how many fish?

Yes...how many to complete my tank.

Let's see what you get out of the 4 Juvies 1st. I think 2-3 males is good. 7-8 Females.

Here is the family eating lunch. I sure hope I have boys in there, I think the larger of the juveniles is one but he has not colored up.

nice.

Hit me with some Spring updates. I will be sending some more out to you all.

All 4 male Greenwoodis (Velvet Blacks) are growing and doing great. I still have them in seperate tanks.

Looking good!

Patiently waiting for some females

nice

Here is the latest video of the tank. I have had the four juveniles in the tank for 37 day. Two have grown much more than the other two. The ones from KMX are large and look very strong and greenish. The two larger juveniles are still silver looking. I am not sure I have any males. In the vidoe, the last part, I show the two larger juveniles. Do they look like males?

very nice

Weekly update: looks like no males. One of the juveniles is somewhat silver looking but not coloring up much. Maybe that one is a male.

Very nice. I can't tell 100% but I think you have a male. IF NOT don't be discouraged, I have a ton coming and can get you a male.

Thanks

Matter a fact I was looking today and I should have some ready very, very soon. I have around 40-50 between .5" and 1.25"

Hi all, long time don't see

Just wanted to touch base. Greenwoodis, Velvet Blacks, are looking better than ever. These bad boys are still looking for mates. I still have them separated in different tanks.

Please PM me if you know of anyone that has females available.

Thanks,
Zuly

awesome Zuly, hope you find the women soon...

I hear ya, they are getting desperate

<---------------------------------- That's what they are starting to look like

Everyone ok to give an update?

I have some more that are ready for new homes.

Well, it has been a long time but things are going well here. I now have 7 fish left, one male for sure, one maybe and 5 females of various sizes. I have two fish with battered tails but still active. She is a smaller fish. A little history, I got 8 fish last November from Kory. Four survived, all females. I got 8 small fish from school teacher in Michigan and four survived after being put in the tank with bigger fish. That is where the male came from. No babies yet but maybe some courting.

great to hear you have a nice little group. keep us posted and i hope they breed soon.

Thats awesome!hopefuly you get some babies soon!Keep us posted!Thanks!

No babies yet but it seems like things are sorting themselves out...I have one dominant male, ugh..for sure 1 sub-dom male, maybe two..one female, smaller but in great shape, one female the same size with ragged tail, sometimes black in color but very active...

My questions is:
5 3+" rock dwellers
55 g, 20 plants
Aquaclear 110
Rena XP3

I have two 6 in air stones under each outtake for better oxygen in the water

I have just heard that this scares them or at least makes the uncomfortable at the miniumum.

Does anyone suggest a change?

Maybe put some empty planter pots in the upside down with a door cut in there
