I am thinking of getting some Victorians and found a good deal on PUNDIMILIA NYERI MAKOBE ISLAND ... well that is what they are listed as. I dont know much about them so figured I would ask. What level of difficulty are they to breed and how much is a good price for fry.

Most vics are relatively easy to breed. The males can be hard on the females so make sure you have plenty of girls.

Always good to have big groups. Good to have other males so the dominate male has something to chase other then the ladies. But yes lot's of ladies also. I would say 40G or bigger for sure.

These fish are really beautiful!!! The males have incredible color but they are mean as hell!!!! One male and lots of females!!!! They breed like rats and trying to get rid of them can be a task. Not many people keep these fish because of their behavior and not many LFS will take them. Too bad, they are a striking fish but...........
