A. Siquia Rio Cabayo Fry

I'm gauging interest on some a. siquia Rio Cabayo fry that I have growing out. Here is a link on them written by Sam Borstien:

I've got a tank full of them now at about 1/2". Anybody interested in me growing them out a bit for you?

Link works for me.

Bump for great fish...a convict-type with gorgeous females AND males...

Adult males get a lot of yellow in their heads and gill plates. Females have orange on the fins as well as the body. These are my favorite convict variant that I have kept.

Males are supposed to get 7" as well (although mine are breeding at 2-3")

SUPER CONS!

What's their general disposition like? Are they as nasty toward other fish as convicts when they spawn, or easier to get along with like cutteri?

 

[jonclark96]

I would guess they are like other convicts, but I have only kept my pair alone.

 

[dogofwar]

Their disposition is like cons - nasty when they spawn. Read the link that Jon provided...

When would they be ready to buy?

 

[jonclark96]

Right now they are at about 1/2". Another month or so and they should be ready to go.

 

[crazyclowntang]

I would definitely get some if ready next month

Cool. I'll keep them growing out.
