Re: Can someone tell me the sex of my Marmoratus?

Yes hes about 9 inches now I predict Uwwww 95% that's good enough for me. Next question and this might get the answer VERY HARD but if I can find a male to go with her how hard is it to get these fish to breed. Any experience with this mark?

Re: Suitable Ageneiosus tank mates for a Marmoratus

Right the only thing they've sent over is one Ageneiosus vittatus. It's 4 inches so will need to be seperate from the marmoratus at the min but Richard at wharf says once grown He'l be fine with the Marmaratus. Any thoughts or advice on the vittatus people?

My Marmoratus wouldn't eat anything but live food from the start and he was practically starving himself to death. I wanted him to eat dry food and it took...

Re: Ageneiosus marmoratus info wanted

Guessing they will be pretty small as the price is between 35 and 40 quid. Depending how small they are I may have to put the partition back in the tank as I don't want te Marmaratus eating them lol
